Book Visual Servoing in Robotics

Download or read book Visual Servoing in Robotics written by Jorge Pomares and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2021-08-31 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visual servoing is a well-known approach to guide robots using visual information. Image processing, robotics, and control theory are combined in order to control the motion of a robot depending on the visual information extracted from the images captured by one or several cameras. With respect to vision issues, a number of issues are currently being addressed by ongoing research, such as the use of different types of image features (or different types of cameras such as RGBD cameras), image processing at high velocity, and convergence properties. As shown in this book, the use of new control schemes allows the system to behave more robustly, efficiently, or compliantly, with fewer delays. Related issues such as optimal and robust approaches, direct control, path tracking, or sensor fusion are also addressed. Additionally, we can currently find visual servoing systems being applied in a number of different domains. This book considers various aspects of visual servoing systems, such as the design of new strategies for their application to parallel robots, mobile manipulators, teleoperation, and the application of this type of control system in new areas.

Book Robot Vision

Download or read book Robot Vision written by A. Pugh and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past five years robot vision has emerged as a subject area with its own identity. A text based on the proceedings of the Symposium on Computer Vision and Sensor-based Robots held at the General Motors Research Laboratories, Warren, Michigan in 1978, was published by Plenum Press in 1979. This book, edited by George G. Dodd and Lothar Rosso!, probably represented the first identifiable book covering some aspects of robot vision. The subject of robot vision and sensory controls (RoViSeC) occupied an entire international conference held in the Hilton Hotel in Stratford, England in May 1981. This was followed by a second RoViSeC held in Stuttgart, Germany in November 1982. The large attendance at the Stratford conference and the obvious interest in the subject of robot vision at international robot meetings, provides the stimulus for this current collection of papers. Users and researchers entering the field of robot vision for the first time will encounter a bewildering array of publications on all aspects of computer vision of which robot vision forms a part. It is the grey area dividing the different aspects of computer vision which is not easy to identify. Even those involved in research sometimes find difficulty in separating the essential differences between vision for automated inspection and vision for robot applications. Both of these are to some extent applications of pattern recognition with the underlying philosophy of each defining the techniques used.

Book A Visual Servoing Approach to Human Robot Interactive Object Transfer

Download or read book A Visual Servoing Approach to Human Robot Interactive Object Transfer written by Ying Wang and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2016-04-07 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking human factors into account, a visual servoing approach aims to facilitate robots with real-time situational information to accomplish tasks in direct and proximate collaboration with people. A hybrid visual servoing algorithm, a combination of the classical position-based and image-based visual servoing, is applied to the whole task space. A model-based tracker monitors the human activities, via matching the human skeleton representation and the image of people in image. Grasping algorithms are implemented to compute grasp points based on the geometrical model of the robot gripper. Whilst major challenges of human-robot interactive object transfer are visual occlusions and making grasping plans, this work proposes a new method of visually guiding a robot with the presence of partial visual occlusion, and elaborate the solution to adaptive robotic grasping.

Book Intelligent Visual Servoing for Robotic Control

Download or read book Intelligent Visual Servoing for Robotic Control written by and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense Critical Technologies Plan (March 1990) targets machine intelligence and robotics as one of 20 "technologies with great promise of ensuring the long-term superiority of United States weapon systems." Robotic systems and technology are being developed and applied to the important requirement of keeping mobile weapons platforms such as tanks and artillery supplied with ammunition in combat situations. This application of robotic technology can both increase the efficiency of the ammunition handling and supply operations and, at the same time, reduce the exposure of military personnel to hazardous environments and missions. RedZone Robotics, Inc. has completed a Phase I SBIR that addresses the needs of DOD SBIR solicitation A94-094, "Intelligent Sensor Based Robotic Control System Technology". This project has resulted in a design for intelligent vision-based servoing control of robotic and telerobotic manipulators that will enhance the capabilities, adaptability, robustness, and autonomy of existing robotic controllers for tasks that involve object tracking and manipulator positioning. This technology is modular in structure so that it can be added to existing robot control systems or integrated into new robotic and telerobotic control systems. The visual servoing system incorporates novel video feedback algorithms, using a single camera mounted on the robot, to actively position a manipulator relative to target objects. Rather than relying on precise, pre-movement kinematic modeling, the technique continuously measures target position in a video image while the robot moves. Visual servoing relaxes conventional requirements for object tracking and manipulator positioning and will allow less expensive, faster setup of new and existing robot systems. The ultimate result of this research will be new intelligent visual servocontrol commercial products for semi-autonomous robotic or telerobotic operations

It shows how integrated vision/force control improves the task quality in the sense of increased accuracy and execution velocity and widens the range of feasible tasks. The unique feature of this work lies in its comprehensive treatment of the problem from the theoretical development of the various schemes down to the real-time implementation of interaction control algorithms on an industrial robot. The presented approach and its potential impact on the performance of the next generation of robots is starting to be recognized by major manufacturers worldwide.

Book Image Based Visual Servoing Using Trajectory Planning and Augmented Visual Servoing Controller

Download or read book Image Based Visual Servoing Using Trajectory Planning and Augmented Visual Servoing Controller written by Mohammad Keshmiri and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robots and automation manufacturing machineries have become an inseparable part of industry, nowadays. However, robotic systems are generally limited to operate in highly structured environments. Although, sensors such as laser tracker, indoor GPS, 3D metrology and tracking systems are used for positioning and tracking in manufacturing and assembly tasks, these devices are highly limited to the working environment and the speed of operation and they are generally very expensive. Thus, integration of vision sensors with robotic systems and generally visual servoing system allows the robots to work in unstructured spaces, by producing non-contact measurements of the working area. However, projecting a 3D space into a 2D space, which happens in the camera, causes the loss of one dimension data. This initiates the challenges in vision based control. Moreover, the nonlinearities and complex structure of a manipulator robot make the problem more challenging. This project aims to develop new reliable visual servoing methods that allow its use in real robotic tasks. The main contributions of this project are in two parts; the visual servoing controller and trajectory planning algorithm. In the first part of the project, a new image based visual servoing controller called Augmented Image Based Visual Servoing (AIBVS) is presented. A proportional derivative (PD) controller is developed to generate acceleration as the controlling command of the robot. The stability analysis of the controller is conducted using Lyapanov theory. The developed controller has been tested on a 6 DOF Denso robot. The experimental results on point features and image moment features demonstrate the performance of the proposed AIBVS. Experimental results show that a damped response could be achieved using a PD controller with acceleration output. Moreover, smoother feature and robot trajectories are observed compared to those in conventional IBVS controllers. Later on, this controller is used on a moving object catching process. Visual servoing controllers have shown difficulty in stabilizing the system in global space. Hence, in the second part of the project, a trajectory planning algorithm is developed to achieve the global stability of the system. The trajectory planning is carried out by parameterizing the camera's velocity screw. The camera's velocity screw is parameterized using time-based profiles. The parameters of the velocity profile are then determined such that the velocity profile guides the robot to its desired position. This is done by minimizing the error between the initial and desired features. This method provides a reliable path for the robot considering all robotic constraints. The developed algorithm is tested on a Denso robot. The results show that the trajectory planning algorithm is able to perform visual servoing tasks which are unstable when performed using visual servoing controllers.
