Have you ever wanted to develop a robot while tracking your face by just using an Arduino and without having to learn programming languages such as OpenCV, Visual Basic and C#? If you're interested in learning more about how we can implement face detection with Arduino and Android, read on. In this project, you'll move the mobile camera with the help of servos to follow you around. Using an Android Mobile Phone offers the advantage of not having to invest in a camera module, and all of the image detection is done on the phone itself, so you do not need an Arduino-based computer for this. Our Bluetooth Module communicates wirelessly with mobile devices using the Arduino Uno.

Processing Android was used to create the Android application used in this project. You can either download the APK file (see below for details) or install the application directly from the Processing Android website. Alternatively, you may use the Processing Code provided in the Tutorial to create a more interesting Android Application. Our previous Processing projects will give you more information about Processing. After following this, you will be able to build a Mini Tilt and Span Robotic Arm with the capability of tracking and moving along with your face. This (with further advancement) can be used to record vlog videos or even take selfies using the front and rear cameras on your mobile phones. The exact centre of the screen is positioned exactly where your face is. Therefore! How

does that sound? The Demo Video at the end of this article shows how it works. Let's figure out how to do it... This project has been designed to be as simple as possible, anyone with a basic understanding of hardware or programming can use these guidelines to make it work in no time. However, once you make it, I suggest you dig deep into the code so you can get a real understanding of how it works.

Arduino Nano Servo motor SG90 – 2Nos Android Phone with decent camera HC-05/HC-06 Bluetooth Module Computer for programming 3D printer (optional) 9V Battery Two servo motors are used in the circuit, one for moving the mobile phone left and right, and another for tilting it up and down. As a result, the Arduino Nano will instruct the servo to move in the direction requested by the

Bluetooth module (HC-05). All of the circuit components are powered by a 9V battery.

Earlier I mentioned that this Android application is the brain behind the project. Processing Android was used to develop this android application. The steps below will show you how to download and launch the application directly on your smartphone. Download the APK file from here http://bit.ly/face_tracking_download (Server 1) or https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SrPrcxjs8jOFUDYYw_FaHrk01cteqD8n/vi ew?usp=sharing (Server 2) Circuits such as those shown above should be powered on. Look for the Bluetooth module named "HC-05" in your phone's settings The name should always be " HC-05 ", as only then the application will work if you haven't named it anything else. Use the password " 1234 " or " 0000 " to pair with your Bluetooth module. The application will now launch in portrait mode. Across the top of the screen, you will see your camera screen and "Connected to: HC- 05 ". The top left corner of your screen will also display the pixel's position when you move your camera over a face.

By adding some additional advancements for which you won't have to code your own Android application, you can take this Arduino Face Tracking Project to the next level. You might think that creating an Android application is a complicated thing, but trust me, it's very easy with processing. With your own creativity, you can make any advancement you want.

Then, once our hardware, code, and Android application are ready, we can start the building process. Simply power your Arduino and open the android application. The HC-05 Bluetooth module (must be called HC-05) will automatically connect to the application when it detects a face. In order to use our mobile holder, simply place the phone in the holder and sit back. As your phone's servo motors move, you should notice your face cantered on the display. Your mobile phone will now follow your movements when you move within the camera's range.
