A novel estimation strategy for the eye-in-hand depth-independent visual servoing

As we know, a novel adaptive visual servoing strategy has been proposed for the control of robot manipulators with an eye-in-hand configuration, where an adaptive law is used to estimate the unknown parameters determined by the products of the unknown 3D coordinates and the unknown camera parameters. From a practical point of view, in this paper, we propose a novel strategy for the estimation of these two types of unknown parameters. The new strategy is very useful in that it can reduce the number of the unknown parameters to be estimated. To demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method, preliminary simulation results based on a two-link planar robot manipulator are presented in this paper.
