Recent vision-based control algorithms for robot manipulators are reviewed. Vision is
essential for robots working in an unstructured environment. There are numerous research …

Passivity is an input–output property of dynamical systems. The concept generalizes
physical systems that cannot store more energy than the energy supplied from outside the …

In image-based visual servo control, where control is effected with respect to the image,
there is no direct control over the Cartesian velocities of the robot end effector. As a result …

Vision feedback control loop techniques are efficient for a large class of applications, but
they come up against difficulties when the initial and desired robot positions are distant …

Vision guided robotics has been one of the major research issue for more than three
decades. The more recent technological development facilitated the advancement in the …

Visual servoing methods are commonly classified as image-based or position-based,
depending on whether image features or the camera position define the signal error in the …

This paper concerns the stability analysis of a new class of model-free visual servoing
methods. These methods are" model-free" since they are based on the estimation of the …

This paper presents a new visual servoing scheme which is invariant to changes in camera-
intrinsic parameters. Current visual servoing techniques are based on the learning of a …

We describe in this paper potential problems that may appear in image-based visual
servoing when the initial camera position is far away from its desired position. We show by …

This paper presents a novel framework for image-based motion planning, which we term
Visual Motion Planning. The method skips the step of transferring image features back to …
