Uncalibrated Eye-to-Hand Visual Servoing Using Inverse Fuzzy Models

Abstract

A new uncalibrated eye-to-hand visual servoing based on inverse fuzzy modeling is proposed in this paper. In classical visual servoing, the Jacobian plays a decisive role in the convergence of the controller, as its analytical model depends on the selected image features. This Jacobian must also be inverted online. Fuzzy modeling is applied to obtain an inverse model of the mapping between image feature variations and joint velocities. This approach is independent from the robot's kinematic model or camera calibration and also avoids the necessity of inverting the Jacobian online. An inverse model is identified for the robot workspace, using measurement data of a robotic manipulator. This inverse model is directly used as a controller. The inverse fuzzy control scheme is applied to a robotic manipulator performing visual servoing for random positioning in the robot workspace. The obtained experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme. The fuzzy controller can position the robotic manipulator at any point in the workspace with better accuracy than the classic visual servoing approach.

“Adult” Robot Enabled Learning Process in High Precision Assembly Automation

“…Motion control in such environment is still a challenging problem since the working environment models are not known a priori and sensing is limited and uncertain. There are many methods proposed to solve this problem, such as 3D information retrieval including multi-view geometric techniques using single movable camera [12,13], simultaneous localization and Mapping [14], visual servoing with uncalibrated cameras [15,16], However due to the limitation of visual sensor or strict requirements for prior knowledge of robot dynamics, they cannot meet the requirements for high precise and flexible robot teaching applications [6,17],…”
