Follow the transporter

1.Product Introduction

Follow the transporter is an all-round industry application of front-drive chassis transporter. It has simple and sensitive operation, large development space, adaptable to a variety of fields of development and application, heavy-duty shock absorption, strong climbing ability, etc. It can be used for inspection, special transportation and other special robot development, to solve the robot mobility program.

2.System Functions

A.Detecting pedestrians

After acquiring video data from the camera, the system detects the people present in the video by deep learning method and obtains the relevant position, distance and other information.

B.Target search

After the system is turned on, if no target is detected, it will rotate 360° to try to search for the target. This function is not turned on by default because the camera has a limited field of view and cannot detect obstacles outside the field of view, and there is a risk of autonomous searching, and it is usually turned on when the system has a 360° perception. If the target is still not detected, the system will go into hibernation until the target enters the detection range, or the system is activated again. When the tracked target disappears from the field of view, the system will continue to run for a shorter period of time to ensure the stability of the system, and will not start and stop frequently due to false detections or brief occlusions. When the original tracking target is still not detected within the specified time, the motion is paused in place and then slowly rotated in the direction of the original target running tendency to try to search for the target. Continue the tracking program after successfully detecting the target.

C. Lock following target

The system assigns labels to each target after detecting the target and calls the deep learning tracking algorithm to keep tracking the target, which can effectively deal with the occlusion situation and guarantee that the target will not be switched suddenly during the task execution.

D.Straight-line following

After detecting the target and determining to follow it, the system will continue to follow behind the target, adjusting the speed in real time by judging the distance between people and vehicles, and keeping the tracking target at a fixed distance from the vehicle carried by the system.

E.Real-time following of target's moving direction

After the target turns or follows the moving direction, the system will adjust the speed and direction of the vehicle carried by the system in real time according to the position of the target in the video to keep the target in the middle range as much as possible and realize the following of the target.

F.Safety Protection

The system will adjust the following distance, maximum following speed, obstacle tolerance distance and other parameters according to the actual application scene to protect the safety of pedestrians and vehicles.

G.Abnormal processing and feedback

When there are abnormal situations such as camera loss, abnormal high temperature, vehicle collision, etc., the system will immediately stop the vehicle movement and feedback the specific abnormality back to the background.
