Abstract
An autonomous mobile device (AMD) interacts with a user to provide tasks such as conveniently displaying information on a screen and moving with the user as they move. The AMD determines an area, or bounding box, of a user appearing within images obtained by a camera that is mounted on the AMD. A preferred area, with respect to the images, such as a center of the image, is specified to provide desired framing of images. As images are acquired by the camera, a difference between the bounding box and the preferred area is determined. Based at least in part on this difference, instructions are determined to move one or more of the cameras or the entire AMD to try and reframe the bounding box in subsequent images closer to the preferred area. Other factors, such as the user being backlit, may also be considered in determining the instructions.
