Obstacle Avoidance and Path Planning Explained: From A to DWA — Which Works Best for Follow-Me Robots?

In the world of autonomous following vehicles, “accurate tracking” is only half of the challenge. The real test lies in ensuring the robot can follow smoothly while safely avoiding obstacles in complex environments. Behind this capability are the path planning and obstacle avoidance algorithms that form the brain of every intelligent mobile platform.

Multi-Sensor Fusion for Follow-Me

Guide to Multi-Sensor Fusion for Follow Me System: Architecture and Challenges of UWB + IMU + Vision

UWB provides precise positioning but suffers from signal blockage; IMU can capture rapid motion but accumulates drift over time; vision enables human and environment recognition but depends heavily on lighting and computation. As a result, the combination of UWB + IMU + Vision has become a mainstream solution in the industry. This article explores its architecture, workflow, and the key challenges faced in real-world deployments.

Security and Anti-Interference Design in UWB Auto-Follow Systems: The Invisible Armor for Reliability

At PSICV, we have been working on UWB-
based auto-follow solutions for several years. Through countless field tests and deployments, we have learned that security and interference resistance are not optional “extras” – they are the invisible armor that determines whether an auto-follow product can operate safely in the real world.

UWB-Based Autonomous Following and Multi-Sensor Fusion Localization

In autonomous following systems, Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology, with its centimeter-level accuracy, has emerged as one of the most widely adopted localization methods. We propose a multi-sensor fusion approach, combining UWB with Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) and LiDAR. This integration significantly enhances accuracy, stability, and robustness across a wide range of real-world scenarios.
