Journal of Automation, Mobile Robotics and Intelligent Systems, 10(1), 3-7. doi:10.14313/JAMRIS_1-2016/1This study looked at developing a simple concept for an object-following robot, meant to follow a person in an agricultural setting. A KIPR Link was used as the framework, and simple mathematical relationships were derived to control the motion of the robot. The work described is meant as a proof-of-concept, not as a full-scale development. Reasonable results were obtained, indicating that the robot could successfully follow the object. © 2016, Industrial Research Institute for Automation and Measurements.
