    Abstract: An autonomous driving apparatus for accompanied driving in an environment that includes a companion and an obstacle includes a sensor, processing circuitry, and a driver. The sensor may generate sensor data. The processing circuitry may define a current state of the autonomous driving apparatus based on processing the sensor data to determine respective positions of the companion and the obstacle in the environment and select a first tracking point of a plurality of tracking points at least partially surrounding the position of the companion in the environment based on the current state, a position of each tracking point of the plurality of tracking points in the environment defined by the position of the companion in the environment. The driving apparatus drive mechanism may move the autonomous driving apparatus to the first tracking point to cause the autonomous driving apparatus to accompany the companion in the environment.
