Security Guard Robot Detecting Human Using Gaussian Distribution Histogram Method

Robotics today are advancing to the point where many tasks that used to be for humans only have been supplements by machines that can do the same tasks faster and safer than their human counterparts. Factories are using automated robots that do repetitive tasks all day long leaving the more skill oriented tasks for qualified personnel. Now-a-days, due to the recession that hits many security guard companies, security managers are turning to robots to help get the job done in order to reduce personnel costs. This demand has driven the security robots to be one of the most important topics in the robotics research. But for the robot to be used in such domain, it needs to make a difference between objects and humans.
