چکیده

A fundamental step towards broadening the use of real world image-based visual servoing is to deal with the important issues of reliability and robustness. In order to address this issue, a closed loop control law is proposed that simultaneously accomplishes a visual servoing task and is robust to a general class of external errors. This generality allows concurrent consideration of a wide range of errors including: noise from image feature extraction, small scale errors in the tracking and even large scale errors in the matching between current and desired features. This is achieved with the application of widely accepted statistical techniques of robust M-estimation. The M-estimator is integrated by an iteratively re-weighted method. The Median Absolute Deviation is used as an estimate of the standard deviation of the inlier data and is compared with other methods. This combination is advantageous because of its high efficiency, high breakdown point and desirable influence functions. The robustness and stability of the control law is shown to be dependent on a subsequent measure of position uncertainty. Furthermore the convergence criteria of the control law are investigated. Experimental results are presented which demonstrate visual servoing tasks which resist severe outlier contamination.

Uncalibrated Vision-Based Control and Motion Planning of Robotic Arms in Unstructured Environments

Many robotic systems are required to operate in unstructured environments. This imposes significant challenges on algorithm design. Particularly, motion control and planning algorithms should be robust to noise and outliers, because uncertainties are inevitable. In addition, independence from scene model and calibration parameters is preferred; otherwise, the tedious model extraction and calibr...

Robust Jacobian Matrix Estimation for Image-Based Visual Servoing

A method for local estimation through training of the feature Jacobian for uncalibrated closed-loop robot manipulator control is presented, which can handle non-gaussian outliers due to illumination changes. This is achieved through the employment of a robust estimator. The method is experimentally validated through a sunroof fitting robot in a closed loop control scheme.

Robust Sampling-Based Planning for Vision-Based Control in Unstructured Environments

We propose a robust planning algorithm to reject visual-motor outliers and address uncalibrated visual servoing in unstructured settings. The proposed framework is built on the success and efficiency of the sampling-based planners while incorporating robustness to outliers in both planning and control.
