How To Let A Robot Locate My Position

Hi there, what would be the best solution if you want your robot to recognice and follow you? Radio? A keyed bluetoothsignal?

I want to build a robot that follows me in a certain distance. Maybe something similar to a wall-e, so I can put my shoppings into him^^

Im happy for any good suggestion and even more for a complete robokit;)

Just tried IR following with a universal remote, and it works great. I am going to take a small 1 LED bike light I have and replace the LED with an IR one so I can wear it on my wrist or ankle so the bot will follow me.

@thetechguru, Alan, do you just use the 'RED' color tracking on ARC for that?

Kkeast, actually it sees it as blue (almost white.)
