This paper present a pedestrian following mobile robot with binocular vision sensor. Because Kinect is one of the most inexpensive devices of depth-cameras, it is used in our application. Human skeleton is extracted by using Kinect, and the location of human is checked by projecting the three-dimensional (3D) pose of skeleton onto 2D screen. This 2D screen is separated into three parts, left, middle and right. Mobile robot rotates and translates according to the corresponding location of pedestrian. To make the robot move forward and backward, the distance between spine point and mobile robot is calculated. Finally, a real experimental result is used to validate our proposed method.
