ABSTRACT:
This study presents the systematic development of an intelligent mobile robotic system engineered for real-time target acquisition and autonomous pursuit capabilities. The proposed framework incorporates advanced visual processing techniques, multi-sensor data integration, and adaptive behavioural control to achieve reliable target identification, continuous tracking, and safe navigation. The robotic platform employs a hybrid detection methodology combining chromatic analysis, geometric feature extraction, and computational learning algorithms to maintain consistent target engagement across diverse operational scenarios. Performance evaluation demonstrates exceptional tracking fidelity of 92% accuracy while sustaining optimal pursuit distances between 0.5-3.0 meters. The developed system exhibits significant potential for deployment in security monitoring, assistive technologies, autonomous transportation, and manufacturing automation sectors.
