Visual servoing is a robust technique for aligning both static and moving parts using imprecisely calibrated camera-lens-manipulator systems. An important limitation of these systems is the workspace within which the alignment task can be successfully performed due to the position and orientation of the camera. An active camera can extend this region, however this changes the visual representat...

Many robotic systems are required to operate in unstructured environments. This imposes significant challenges on algorithm design. Particularly, motion control and planning algorithms should be robust to noise and outliers, because uncertainties are inevitable. In addition, independence from scene model and calibration parameters is preferred; otherwise, the tedious model extraction and calibr...
