Development of an Autonomous Device for People Detection

The growing interest in autonomous security technologies and advanced monitoring systems has driven the development of innovative robotic solutions. This study addresses the development of an autonomous rover, named ROID, specifically designed for the detection of people in diverse environments. The device combines state-of-the-art sensors, such as 3D cameras and LIDAR systems, with advanced algorithms for computer vision and artificial intelligence, operating on a robust platform that integrates the Robotic Operating System (ROS). ROID was developed to perform mapping tasks, autonomous navigation, and human pattern recognition, facilitating continuous and reliable operations in complex contexts such as industrial facilities and public areas. Test results demonstrated the rover's efficacy in automatically identifying and tracking individuals, providing an essential tool for applications ranging from public safety to managing people flow at events or commercial spaces. The integration of modular components and scalable technology suggests broad possibilities for future adaptations of ROID, including expansion to other applications in security and environmental monitoring.
