An Active Visual Estimator for Dexterous Manipulation - Robotics and Automation, IEEE Transactions on

چکیده
We present a working implementation of a dynamics based architecture for visual sensing. This architecture provides field rate estimates of the positions and velocities of two independent falling balls in the face of repeated visual occlusions and departures from the field of view. The practical success of this system can be attributed to the interconnection of two strongly nonlinear dynamical systems: a novel triangulating state estimator; and an iniage plane window controller. We detail the architecture of this active sensor, provide data documenting its performance, and offer an analysis of its soundness in the form of a convergence proof for the estimator and a boundedness proof for the manager.

متن کاملPlanar Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Au Clusters in Pushing Process
Based on the fact the manipulation of fine nanoclusters calls for more precise modeling, the aim of this paper is to conduct an atomistic investigation for interaction analysis of particle-substrate system for pushing and positioning purposes. In the present research, 2D molecular dynamics simulations have been used to investigate such behaviors. Performing the planar simulations can provide a ...

متن کاملManipulability, force, and compliance analysis for planar continuum manipulators
Continuum manipulators, inspired by the natural capabilities of elephant trunks and octopus tentacles, may find niche applications in areas like human-robot interaction, multiarm manipulation, and unknown environment exploration. However, their true capabilities will remain largely inaccessible without proper analytical tools to evaluate their unique properties. Ellipsoids have long served as o...
متن کاملVisual servoing via navigation functions
This technical report presents a framework for visual servoing that guarantees convergence to a visible goal from most initially visible configurations while maintaining full view of all the feature points along the way. The method applies to first and second order fully actuated plant models. The solution entails three components: a model for the “occlusion-free” workspace; a change of coordin...
