This paper discusses the development of a leader follower robot based on visual trackin_-
In leader follower approach, one robot acts as a leader whose motion defines the path for
the follower robots. The entire follower robots use the path defined by the leader to achie\ e
a defined task or to attain a certain goal. The advancement o f the technology of videc
acquisition has made devices better and cost-effective. Thereby, many applications those
will effectively utilize digital video can be identified. Compared to still images, video
sequences provide more information about how objects and scenarios change over time
The strategy copes with the tracking and following of a single object in a sequence of
frames and the co-ordinate of the object can be determined. The object tracking video is
recorded using a wireless camera and then transmitted into a computer. Then using the
software artifact named 'Roborealm', the video is processed and analysed, hence the objee:
can be detected and coordinates of the detected object is calculated. The object is trackec
by plotting a square bounding box around it in each frame.
