Virtual Visual Servoing for Real-Time Robot Pose Estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a system for markerless pose estimation and tracking of a robot manipulator. By tracking the manipulator, we can obtain an accurate estimate of its position and orientation necessary in many object grasping and manipulation tasks. Tracking the manipulator allows also for better collision avoidance. The method is based on the notion of virtual visual servoing. We also propose the use of distance transform in the control loop, which makes the performance independent of the feature search window.

This paper describes the implementation of behaviour for real-time visual servoing on a mobile robot. The behaviour is a component of a multi-robot cleaning system developed in the context of our investigation into architectures for cooperative systems. An important feature for support of cooperation is the awareness of one robot by another, which this behaviour realises. Robust feature trackin...

Visual control of robots using vision system and cameras has appeared since 1980’s. Visual (image based) features such as points, lines and regions can be used to, for example, enable the alignment of a manipulator / gripping mechanism with an object. Hence, vision is a part of a control system where it provides feedback about the state of the environment. In general, this method involves the v...
متن کاملPose Estimation for Grasping Preparation from Stereo Ellipses
This paper describes an approach for real-time preparation of grasping tasks, based on the low-order moments of the target’s shape on a stereo pair of images acquired by an active vision head. The objective is to estimate the 3D position and orientation of an object and of the robotic hand, by using computationally fast and independent software components. These measurements are then used for t...
