Adaptive Visual Servoing Controller with Feedforward Compensator without Knowledge of True Jacobian

Abstract

This paper describes an adaptive visual servoing controller consisting of an on-line estimator and a feedback/feedforward controller for uncalibrated camera-manipulator systems. The estimator does not need a priori knowledge on the kinematic structure nor parameters of the camera-manipulator system, such as camera and link parameters. The controller consists of feedforward and feedback terms to make the image features converge to the desired trajectories, by using the estimated results. Some experimental results demonstrate the validity of the proposed estimator and controller.
