Abstract :
This paper describes the development of a dynamic, robust algorithm for tracking a walking human by a mobile robot. In order to follow a target individual, the proposed system employs a laser rangefinder and an omni-directional camera. The validity of the method was examined experimentally in an outdoor environment.
