The present disclosure discloses a visual tracking method based on gesture recognition and a robot thereof. By recognizing a feature gesture, an accurate offset angle between a robot and a tracking target is obtained in real time, accurate tracking is facilitated, and the tracking is more natural. In addition, an initial distance thereof may be measured by a single-point ranging module. By recognizing a feature gesture, an accurate relative distance between the robot and the tracking target is obtained in real time, and thus the tracking accuracy is higher. The tracking method and the robot according to the present disclosure achieve a higher accuracy over color patch tracking, and have a greatly reduced cost over the 3D sensing solution. This greatly improves accuracy of the tracking. Therefore, user interactions are smoother, the operation key points may be simply mastered, and the use is convenient.
