Coordinated movement of the mobile robot-body and chameleon-inspired binocular \u201cnegative correlation\u201d visual system (CIBNCVS) with neck has rarely been considered in conventional mobile robot design. However, it is vital in swift and accurate positioning and tracking of the target. Consequently, it is valuable to find an optimized method where the robot-body, the biomimetic eyes and neck could achieve optimal coordinated movement.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p>\u2013 Based on a wheeled mobile robot, a biomimetic dual Pan\u2013Tilt\u2013Zoom visual system with neck is constructed. The cameras can rely on the unique \u201cnegative correlation\u201d mode of chameleon vision, and cooperate with neck, achieving swift search of the 160\u00b0 scope in front of the robot. Genetic algorithm is used to obtain optimal rotation of the neck and robot-body. Variable resolution targeting is also applied for accurate aiming. Using these two approaches, we can achieve efficient targeting with low energy consumption. Particle filter algorithm is further utilized for real-time tracking.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>\u2013 In the proposed approach, swift and accurate positioning and tracking of the target can be obtained.
