The paper describes a system that servos a miniature robot toward a marked target based on visual information from the robot's own camera. This task is divided into two subtasks: recognition of the target and driving toward it. The system deals with the problems introduced by noisy camera images and unstructured, non-static backgrounds. A description of the control software is given and experimental results are discussed.
