Abstract In recent times, research and development of fully autonomous unmanned vehicle is an important area of robotics research. Such projects have multiple applications in the civilian and military domains. UAV (Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles) research is still in its infancy in Bangladesh. Some projects with semi autonomous capabilities and remote controlled vehicles using remote video links have been developed with varying degrees of success. The objective of this project is to build a fully autonomous vehicle with vision based perception for object detection and tracking along with collision avoidance mechanism with the help of ultrasonic sonar‟s. The UAV built under this project can detect and chase a simple object without any human intervention. The UAV can also search for a target that has gone out of its field of vision. The project involves research and development in the fields of robotics, machine vision and electronics.
