Best Way to Track Things

Hello all. I have a little bot that I want to be able to "follow" something (i.e. a cat, my smallest son, etc.), but not based on any heuristics (like color or heat). What is the best way to accomplish this feat? Currently it uses IR to do object avoidance. Ultimately I would like to have it·continue to do object avoidance while it "follows" some master "signal". I had envisioned some type of pulsing emitter that the bot could "follow" - and thus follow whomever the emitter was attached to at the time. But I can't seem to put the right pieces together in my head to find a way to make this work. It seems like Ping(((·and/or a·RF transmitter/receiver would fit in here - but I can't figure it out. Any pointers are appreciated. Thanks.

If you have a boebot, you can do it with the IR sensors. (I think)
If not, it will show you the theory ....
