Welcome To The FollowBot
Keeping your Hands Free

Description





The Followbot is an autonomous BLE based robot made to carry your luggage with just a two clicks on your iOS device. All you need to do is find the name of your specific FollowBot, click "Connect", and enjoy your having you hands and shoulders free. The Followbot works by receiving packets from Estimote's state of the art BLE location beacons, parsing their RSSI values, using those values to find distance from each beacon and finally trilaterating the location of the bot. The mobile application, developed in swift, takes advantage of the Estimote location SDK for localization and orientation purposes. Using location and orientation data from the FollowBot and the iOS mobile phone, our system intelligently follows it's user while avoiding collisions using ultrasonic technology.
