Smart Fan: Self-contained Mobile Robot that Performs Human Detection and Tracking using Thermal Camera

The intelligence within these systems has been developed so that the products are autonomous. Among them, we especially focused on the air conditioning control with smart products. This paper proposes a smart fan robot that detects and tracks a person by using a thermal camera and RGB-D camera.
