In this paper, we describe a concept of designing a robot capable of pursuing a specific person with carrying person’s luggage. The proposed system involves robotic cart which is able to track and follow the target in unstructured environments. This reduces the human efforts in domestic and industrial applications. A person following robot is desired in many applications. It uses a control system which can carry luggage as well as follow the target person. The follower robotic cart is proposed by interfacing the microcontroller with an ultrasonic sensor. Ultrasonic sensors are used to identify and follow the target person. The system is designed to provide a contactless transport along with the target person. The distance between the person and the robot is measured and the movement of the robot is decided by the inputs given to microcontroller by ultrasonic sensors mounted on servo motor which helps to drive the robot.
