Abstract: A moving target following method, which is executed by one or more processors of a robot that includes a camera and a sensor electrically coupled to the one or more processors, includes: performing a body detection to a body of a target based on images acquired by the camera to obtain a body detection result; performing a leg detection to legs of the target based on data acquired by die sensor to obtain a leg detection result; and fusing the body detection result and the leg detection result to obtain a fusion result, and controlling the robot to follow the target based on the fusion result.

Abstract: A brick assembly with automatically recognizing connecting relationships includes a rod brick, a sleeve brick and a frame brick. The rod brick has an irregular polygon-shaped cross-section and an identification IC. The sleeve brick has the internal bore with the same shape with the cross-section of the rod brick to make the rod brick insert into the sleeve brick only in one direction. Also, the sleeve brick is used to connect the rod brick to the frame brick. The signals, caused by the resistor of the sleeve brick, of the identification IC of the frame brick are detected by a computer system to recognize automatically connecting relationships of these bricks.
