The invention discloses an intelligent sorting system and a sorting method, the system comprises a master control module, a path tracking module, an object sorting module, a power supply module, a walking module, an object acquisition module and a learning module, the master control module is respectively connected to other modules and controls the movement of other modules, the path tracking module performs path tracking and transmits the searched path to the master control module, the walking module is capable of walking under control of the master control module according to the path searched by the path tracking module, the object sorting module is capable of sorting the objects according to the color, the object acquisition module can clamp the sorted object and can place the object at an assigned area, the learning module can be guided in advance, the apparatus is capable of learning, and then repeats the learned movement. The intelligent sorting system can identify objects with a plurality of colors, can perform inductive learning, and automatically place the objects with different colors to the assigned position; wherein an obstacle avoidance design is employed, when the object is carried, the object can not bump to other object and wall.
