Hand-Eye Coordination for Robotic Assembly Tasks

Hand-Eye Coordination for Robotic Assembly Tasks

This paper addresses issues related to the design and implementation of robotic assembly tasks. Specifically, we consider automatic assembly systems with real-time visual sensing for the back shells of cellular phones. Typically, industrial assembly tasks are accomplished using either the look-then-move open-loop or the look-and-move closed-loop control approach. For either approach, successful...

Eye-in-hand robotic tasks in uncalibrated environments

Flexible operation of a robotic agent in an uncalibrated environment requires the ability to recover unknown or partially known parameters of the workspace through sensing. Of the sensors available to a robotic agent, visual sensors provide information that is richer and more complete than other sensors. In this paper we present robust techniques for the derivation of depth from feature points ...

Robotic Hand-eye Coordination Using Multi-resolution Linear Perceptron Representation

Eye–hand coordination: Eye to hand or hand to eye?

Single-unit recording has revealed both hand and eye movement-related activity in the parietal cortex of the macaque monkey. These experiments, as well as neuropsychological studies, are unravelling the complex nature of how the eye and the hand work together in the control of visually guided movements.

Autonomous Robot Calibration for Hand-Eye Coordination

Autonomous robot calibration is defined as the process of determining a robot’s model by using only its internal sensors. It is shown that autonomous calibration of a manipulator and stereo camera system is possible. The proposed autonomous calibration algorithm may obtain the manipulator kinematic parameters, external kinematic camera parameters, and internal camera parameters. To do this, onl...
