Preface Two y ears ago at the 1994 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, we organized a workshop on visual servo c o n trol. The workshop was an overwhelming success, with over 60 participants interested in hearing about the current state of vision-based control. A short poll of participants indicated that most were viewing the workshop as a \tuto-rial" of sorts. Unfortunate...

This thesis presents a system where different components are integrated to grasp an unknown object. Some of these components are based on existing work, while others have been specifically designed or implemented. One of the common denominators of most of these components is that they make use of visual servoing techniques. Visual servoing has been traditionally used in applications where the o...

Predictive control strategies began to be used to solve the image based visual servoing problems. Thus, in literature, a GPC controller and a nonlinear predictive one were reported. In this paper, a predictive control strategy is developed based on a new approach for computing the feature trajectories prediction of a robot with eye-in-hand configuration. The cost function based on errors in ima...

Visual feedback has traditionally been used in the assembly process to a very limited extent. With the advent of effective visual servoing techniques, visual feedback can become an integral part of the assembly process by complementing the use of force feedback to accomplish precision assemblies in imprecisely calibrated robotic assembly workcells. In this paper we present some of the issues pe...

Abstract This article presents a probabilistic road map (PRM) and visual servo control (visual-servoing) based path planning strategy that allows Motoman HP20D industrial robot to move from an initial positional random final position in the presence of fixed obstacles. The process begins with application PRM algorithm take point space where it has free line sight target, then apply servoing end...

Visual servoing (VS) is a common way in robotics to control robot motion usinginformation acquired by camera. This approach requires extract visual information from the image design law. The resulting servo loop built order minimize an error expressed space. We consider direct (DVS) whole images. propose new framework perform VS latent space learned convolutional autoencoder. show that this avo...

In the RoboCup F-180 league competition, vision is predominantly provided by an overhead camera which relays a global view of the field. There are inherent disadvantages in utilising this system, particularly the delays associated with the capture, transmission and processing of vision data. To minimise these delays and to equip the robots with greater autonomy, visual servoing on-board the ind...
