Building a Person-Following Robot with Jetson, YOLO and ROS 2
Building a Person-Following Robot with Jetson, YOLO and ROS 2 Create a conceptual person-following pipeline using camera detections, target selection, tracking, distance estimation, and velocity commands. The tutorial includes safety zones and stop conditions so perception failure does not automatically become a motion command. What You Will Build By the end of this tutorial, you will have: A…
This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on building a person-following robot using Jetson, YOLO, and ROS 2. The key steps include preparing the Jetson, installing and verifying ROS 2, creating a ROS 2 workspace, developing a package, understanding the data flow, publishing a simple ROS 2 message, adding the main AI/robot component, including logging and diagnostics, implementing a safety layer, connecting Flutter, testing the system, optimizing for Jetson, and making the deployment reproducible.
The tutorial emphasizes the importance of a clear architecture, safety measures, and testing at each stage before moving on to the next.
