Abstract
In this paper, we propose a method using stereo vision for visually guiding and controlling a robot in projective three-space.
Our formulation is entirely projective. Metric models are not required and are replaced with projective models of both the
stereo geometry and the robot’s “projective kinematics”. Such models are preferable since they can be identified from the
vision data without any a-priori knowledge. More precisely, we present constraints on projective space that reflect the visibility
and mobility underlying a given task. Using interaction matrix that relates articulation space to projective space, we decompose
the task into three elementary components: a translation and two rotations. This allows us to define trajectories that are
both visually and globally feasible, i.e. problems like self-occlusion, local minima, and divergent control no longer exist.
In this paper, we will not adopt a straight-foward image-based trajectory tracking. Instead, a directly computed control that
combines a feed-forward steering loop with a feed-back control loop, based on the Cartesian error of each of the task’s components.
