PURPOSE:To enable the tracking of a moving object, by providing a light- emitting element on the moving object while a light-receiving element is provided on a tracking robot to decide on the direction thereof based on the detection output of the light-receiving element. CONSTITUTION:Light from an infrared-ray emitting diode within a light emission source 2 so arranged on a moving object 1 non-directional is received with a plurality of light receiving elements 5 provided on a tracking robot 3. The element 5 which is a sensor comprising a photodiode is connected to sensor processors separately in a controller 6 and the direction of the light emission source 2 is determined by the sensor processor. Then, based on the decision data thereof, right and left wheels 4 are rotated separately by a necessary value. Thus, as long as the distance between the moving body 1 and the tracking robot 3 is within a fixed range, the tracking of the moving object 1 can be done without being restricted by the position of the moving object 1 and the position of the tracking robot 3. |
