This paper describes a robotic application that tracks a moving object by utilizing a mobile robot with sensors and image processing. The robotic platform uses a visual camera to sense the movement of the desired object and a range sensor to help the robot detect and then avoid obstacles in real time while continuing to track and follow the desired object. In terms of real-time obstacle avoidance capacity, this paper also presents a algorithm for this robotic application specifically. Experimental results show that the robotic and intelligent system can fulfill the requirements of tracking an object and avoiding obstacles simultaneously.
