Vision Based Mobile Robot Control for Target Tracking

Abstract Target tracking function is essential for autonomous human-interactive robots such as guide robots, security guard robots, pet robots etc. However, there is no detail study about the control ofmobile robots for this target tracking purpose. In this paper, target tracking of mobile robots is studied in functional viewpoint. It turned out that the robot basically has to have two functions to accomplish the target tracking behavior. Proper algorithms for these two functions will be introduced and verified with simulation study.
