Follow-me with a cheap USB camera

Person detection drives a soft chase controller so your robot tags along through the apartment without bowling over chairs.

TurtleBot 3/4Yahboom/Hiwonder ROS2Pi DIY differential drive

Follow-me is the gateway drug for personal robots. Detect a person (MediaPipe or a lightweight YOLO), keep them centered, and command angular + linear velocity with a deadzone so the bot doesn't jitter. Add a max-speed cap and a "lost person" timeout that stops motion.

Curated seed / example for TurtleBot, Yahboom kits, and Pi DIY differentials. Unitree Go owners can adapt the same vision loop to sport-mode velocity commands carefully.

Always test with a clear floor and someone ready to cut power.
