Abstract

The number of researches focusing on wheeled mobile robots is increasing. One of the important tasks realized by the wheeled mobile robots is the object following task. Particularly, this task is used for cooperative robots, or for reaching a detected object in the environment. The aim of this paper is to provide a control strategy for wheeled mobile robots realizing the object following task. Infrared and sonar sensors are used to provide the inputs for the controller. The control strategy takes into consideration that the robot moves in a dynamic environment and it has to follow the target object regardless of other interfering elements.
