Docking or parallel parking maneuvers of mobile manipulators with nonholonomic constraints, guided by vision sensory data, are considered. This corresponds to the stabilization of a highly nonlinear system to a desired pose, for which time{varying state feedback controls are employed, using a vision{based approximation of the system's state. The vision data are provided by a camera carried by t...
