            Abstract : 
We focus on the Target Following Robot System (TFRS), which is a system that allows a follower-robot to follow and track a moving target-object. We propose the some schemes for the effective TFRS, which are the Network based Extended-RFID Localization System (NE-RLS), Virtual Tracking Goal (VTG) and Generalized Wall Structure (GWS). Finally, the utility of these algorithms was verified experimentally.
