A new approach to resolve difficulties by planning trajectories in the image by applying the method when object dimension are known or not and/or when the calibration parameters of the camera are well or badly estimated is proposed.
Abstract:
Vision feedback control loop techniques are efficient for a number of applications but they come up against difficulties when the initial and desired positions of the camera are distant. We propose a new approach to resolve these difficulties by planning trajectories in the image. Constraints such that the object remains in the camera field of view can be taken into account. Furthermore, using this process, current measurement always remain close to their desired value and a control by image based servoing ensures the robustness with respect to modeling errors. We apply our method when object dimension are known or not and/or when the calibration parameters of the camera are well or badly estimated. Finally, real time experimental results using a camera mounted on the end effector of a 6-DOF robot are presented.
TL;DR: A partitioned approach to visual servo control is introduced that decouple the x-axis rotational and translational components of the control from the remaining degrees of freedom and incorporates a potential function that repels feature points from the boundary of the image plane.
TL;DR: This paper proposes a new approach to resolve difficulties in vision feedback control loop techniques by coupling path planning in image space and image-based control and ensures robustness with respect to modeling errors.
TL;DR: The proposed terminology is used to introduce a young researcher and lead the experts in the field through a three decades long historical field of vision guided robotics.
TL;DR: The theoretical proof of the stability of the model-free visual servoing methods and the experimental results prove the validity of the control strategy proposed in the paper.
TL;DR: This work presents a hybrid switched-system visual servo method that utilizes both image-based and position-based control laws, and proves the stability of a specific, state-based switching scheme and presents simulated and experimental results.
TL;DR: This paper reformulated the manipulator con trol problem as direct control of manipulator motion in operational space—the space in which the task is originally described—rather than as control of the task's corresponding joint space motion obtained only after geometric and geometric transformation.
TL;DR: This chapter discusses the configuration space of a Rigid Object, the challenges of dealing with uncertainty, and potential field methods for solving these problems.
TL;DR: This article provides a tutorial introduction to visual servo control of robotic manipulators by reviewing the prerequisite topics from robotics and computer vision, including a brief review of coordinate transformations, velocity representation, and a description of the geometric aspects of the image formation process.
TL;DR: Vision-based control in robotics based on considering a vision system as a specific sensor dedicated to a task and included in a control servo loop is described, and stability and robustness questions arise.
TL;DR: Compared to classic approaches making use of Newton's method, POSIT does not require starting from an initial guess, and computes the pose using an order of magnitude fewer floating point operations; it may therefore be a useful alternative for real-time operation.
