Abstract

This paper describes a simple visual servoing control algorithm capable of robustly positioning a three degree of freedom end effector based only on information from a stereo vision system. The proposed control algorithm does not require estimates of the gripper´s spatial position, a significant source of calibration sensitivity. The controller is completely immune to positional camera calibration errors, and we demonstrate robustness to orientation miscalibration through a series of simulations and experiments
