Visual Servoing

Download or read book Visual Servoing written by Koichi Hashimoto and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1993 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book treats visual feedback control of mechanical systems, mostly robot manipulators. It not only deals with image processing techniques and robot control schemes but also covers the latest investigation of the design of the visual servo mechanism based on modern linear and nonlinear control theory, the adaptive control scheme, fuzzy logic, and neural networks. New concepts for utilizing visual sensory information for real-time manipulator control are derived and the performances are evaluated through simulations and/or experiments.The contributors to this book are robotics specialists from all over the world. The book gives a practical perspective on visual servoing to researchers, engineers, and students working in this area.
