| In this paper, we propose a new approach to vision-based robot control, called 2 1/2 D visual servoing, which avoids the respective drawbacks of classical position-based and image-based visual servoing. Contrary to the position-based visual servoing, our scheme does not need any geometric 3D model of the object. Furthermore and contrary to image-based visual servoing, our approach ensures the...

On specifying reactivity in robotics

Robot programming infrastructure needs to improve for robots to achieve their potential. A key aspect of the programming component is handling responses to events, both expected and unexpected. This paper presents the current status and trends in specifying reactivity in robotics. Recent and notable work in event handling is examined. The trends, future directions and demands for reactivity in ...

A Survey on Swarm Robotics

In this chapter, the current work on swarm robotics is briefly reviewed. Swarm robotics, inspired from nature swarm, is a combination of swarm intelligence and robotic, and shows great potential in several aspects. Firstly of all, the cooperation in nature swarm and swarm intelligence is briefly introduced, and the special features of the swarm robotics compared with single robot and other mult...
