Automatic Guided Vehicles: Robust Controller Design in Image Space

We have been interested in Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGV) for several years. In this paper, we synthesize controllers for AGV applications using monocular vision. In particular, we are interested in road following and direction change tasks, and in analyzing the influence of extrinsic camera parameter perturbations on vehicle behavior. We use the bicycle as the kinematic vehicle model, and we choose the position of the white band on the road as the sensor signal. We define an interaction between the camera, which is mounted inside the vehicle, and the white band detected in the image space. Using this kind of interaction, we present how to use a pole assignment technique to solve the servoing task. We show the simulation and experimental results (1/10 scale demonstrator) with and without perturbations. We then investigate the use of a robust controller to slow down the effect of perturbations on the behavior of the vehicle.

3-D positioning control by linear visual servoing

This article describes the performance of 3-D positioning control by linear visual servoing using binocular visual space in a human-like hand-eye system which has a similar kinetic structure to a human being. We approximate the nonlinear time-variant mapping from a binocular visual space to the joint space of the manipulator as a linear time-invariant mapping. We also investigate the effect of binocular visual space in linear mapping by comparing it with linear mapping using Cartesian space. Some experimental results are presented using the human-like hand-eye system to demonstrate the performance of 3-D positioning control. This work was presented, in part, at the Seventh International Symposium on Artificial Life and Robotics, Oita, Japan, January 16–18, 2002

Visual Homing: Surfing on the Epipoles

We introduce a novel method for visual homing. Using this method a robot can be sent to desired positions and orientations in 3D space specified by single images taken from these positions. Our method is based on recovering the epipolar geometry relating the current image taken by the robot and the target image. Using the epipolar geometry, most of the parameters which specify the differences in position and orientation of the camera between the two images are recovered. However, since not all of the parameters can be recovered from two images, we have developed specific methods to bypass these missing parameters and resolve the ambiguities that exist. We present two homing algorithms for two standard projection models, weak and full perspective.Our method determines the path of the robot on-line, the starting position of the robot is relatively not constrained, and a 3D model of the environment is not required. The method is almost entirely memoryless, in the sense that at every step the path to the target position is determined independently of the previous path taken by the robot. Because of this property the robot may be able, while moving toward the target, to perform auxiliary tasks or to avoid obstacles, without this impairing its ability to eventually reach the target position. We have performed simulations and real experiments which demonstrate the robustness of the method and that the algorithms always converge to the target pose.     

Finite-time tracking control for multiple non-holonomic mobile robots based on visual servoing

This paper investigates finite-time tracking control problem of multiple non-holonomic mobile robots via visual servoing. It is assumed that the pinhole camera is fixed to the ceiling, and camera parameters are unknown. The desired reference trajectory is represented by a virtual leader whose states are available to only a subset of the followers, and the followers have only interaction. First, the camera-objective visual kinematic model is introduced by utilising the pinhole camera model for each mobile robot. Second, a unified tracking error system between camera-objective visual servoing model and desired reference trajectory is introduced. Third, based on the neighbour rule and by using finite-time control method, continuous distributed cooperative finite-time tracking control laws are designed for each mobile robot with unknown camera parameters, where the communication topology among the multiple mobile robots is assumed to be a directed graph. Rigorous proof shows that the group of mobile robots converges to the desired reference trajectory in finite time. Simulation example illustrates the effectiveness of our method.

Visual servoing in the task-function framework: A contour following task

We describe an approach to contour following unknown objects using a handeye robotic system. Relevant and sufficient feature points providing optical flow data are extracted from the edges of the target object. The desired motion of the end-effector is computed with the objective of keeping the visual features always at the same target location in the image plane. A cartesian PD controller is used to perform the desired motion by the robot's end-effector. To address thecontrol issues, we take advantage of the unifying robot control theory stated in the literature as thetask-function approach [21]. To validate our approach, we restricted our experiments to motionless objects positioned in a plane parallel to the image plane: three degrees of freedom (two of translation, one of rotation) are thus controlled.
