Feature-based visual servoing and its application to telerobotics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent advances in visual servoing theory and practice now make it possible to accurately and robustly position a robot manipulator relative to a target. Both the vision and control algorithms are extremely simple, but they must be initialized on task-relevant features in order to be applied. Consequently, they are particularly well-suited to telerobotics systems where an operator can initialize the system but round-trip delay prohibits direct operator feedback during motion. This paper describes the basic theory behind feature-based visual servoing and discusses the issues involved in integrating visual servoing into the ROTEX space teleoperation system.

Visual Tracking using Kernel Projected Measurement and Log-Polar Transformation
Visual Servoing is generally contained of control and feature tracking. Study of previous methods shows that no attempt has been made to optimize these two parts together. In kernel based visual servoing method, the main objective is to combine and optimize these two parts together and to make an entire control loop. This main target is accomplished by using Lyapanov theory. A Lyapanov candidat...
متن کاملA Virtual Reality Teleoperator Interface for Assembly of Hybrid Mems Prototypes
In this paper we describe a teleoperated microassembly workcell that integrates a VRML-based virtual microworld with visual servoing micromanipulation strategies. Java is used to program the VRML-based supervisory interface and to communicate with the microassembly workcell. This provides platform independence and allows remote teleoperation over the Internet. A key aspect of our approach entai...
متن کاملFeature tracking for visual servoing purposes
Object tracking is an important issue for research and application related to visual servoing and more generally for robot vision. In this paper, we address the problem of realizing visual servoing tasks on complex objects in real environments. We briefly present a set of tracking algorithms (2D features-based or motion-based tracking, 3D model-based tracking, . . . ) that have been used for te...
متن کاملA visual servoing control law that is robust to image outliers
A fundamental step towards broadening the use of real world image-based visual servoing is to deal with the important issues of reliability and robustness. In order to address this issue, a closed loop control law is proposed that simultaneously accomplishes a visual servoing task and is robust to a general class of external errors. This generality allows concurrent consideration of a wide rang...
متن کاملVisual Torch Position Control Using Fuzzy-Servoing Controller for Arc Welding Process
In this paper, we propose a fuzzy-servoing controller method for automatic welding. The proposed method uses a vision based arc tracking to find the initial points of the weld seam and to track them without a prior knowledge. Due to a serious melt down in the weld pool during the welding process, the method requires to control the welding torch in two directions, up-down and left-right directio...
