A target-following carrier is disclosed. The target-following carrier includes a target-end device, a moving carrier and a target following assembly. The target-following carrier provided by the present invention utilizes two techniques to detect the distance between a target and the moving carrier. When said detected distance is shorter than a control exchange distance, distance data from laser rangefinders replace that from two RF modules. Therefore, a relative-distanced following can be applied to the target. Meanwhile, the target following assembly can be made compact to mount on any moving carriers, such as a smart luggage or a golf cart, fulfilling the requirements from the market.
