Description

This project will be an assistive robot whose main focus is to track, follow, and assist the user. The tracking aspect of this project will use an android based cell phone application to transmit the cellphones GPS coordinates to the raspberry pi onboard the robot. This app will also have other features that receive information from the robot such as, notifications if the battery life is running low, and if the robot has received corrupted GPS coordinates. The app will also manage the different control modes the robot will have, namely follow mode and manual control mode. In manual control mode the app will send basic forward, backward, left, and right controls to the raspberry pi on the robot. In follow mode most of the decisions the robot makes will be decided by the raspberry pi. The raspberry pi on the robot will be responsible for route planning, sensor controls, and motor controls. The route planning aspect will take the GPS coordinates of the cell phone device and the GPS coordinates of the raspberry pi and compare them to calculate the total distance between them and the shortest possible path the robot could take to get within a certain range of the cell phone.
