About

Nicole E. Sambajon is a researcher in robotics and computer vision, with a focus on intelligent human-robot interaction and real-time tracking systems. Her work addresses the critical challenge of limited field-of-view in conventional cameras by leveraging 360° imaging technology. In her most cited paper, “Image Processing Based Human Following Cart Using 360° Camera” (2020, 2 citations), she developed a robotic system capable of detecting, recognizing, and tracking a human target using a 360° camera. By converting fisheye images into panoramic views, her approach significantly expands the tracking zone, enabling more robust and continuous human following. This innovation has practical applications in assistive robotics, autonomous carts, and smart surveillance. Sambajon’s research demonstrates a creative integration of image processing and robotics, offering a scalable solution for real-world tracking limitations. Her work contributes to the growing field of autonomous systems that require reliable, wide-angle perception, and her methodology provides a foundation for future advancements in human-robot collaboration and mobile robotics.
