We present methods for velocity estimation from discrete and quantized position samples using adaptive windowing. Previous methods necessitate tradeoffs between noise reduction, control delay,… (More)
The problem of estimating position and orientation (pose) of an object in real time constitutes an important issue for vision-based control of robots. Many vision-based pose-estimation schemes in… (More)
The main objective of this paper is to develop an efficient method for learning and reproduction of complex trajectories for robot programming by demonstration. Encoding of the demonstrated… (More)
The extended Kalman filter has been shown to produce accurate pose estimates for visual servoing, assuming that the dynamic noise covariance is known prior to application. Poor estimation of the… (More)
This paper addresses the image-based control problem of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Specifically, we propose a control scheme allowing the aircraft to track… (More)
The performance of a wave-based teleoperator is heavily dependent on the amount of time delay present in the system. Although wave variables provide a very promising method to establish teleoperation… (More)
This paper describes a new approach to robot motion planning that combines the endpoint motion planning with joint trajectory planning for collision avoidance of the links. Local and global methods… (More)
This paper presents two hybrid strategies for robot visual servoing. Two specific image constraints, the image singularities and image local minima, are considered in both strategies. The hybrid… (More)
