Uncalibrated eye-in-hand visual servoing using recursive least squares

Abstract

In this paper, an uncalibrated dynamic visual servoing algorithm is proposed and analyzed. No calibration or robot model is needed. After a brief introduction of the development of uncalibrated visual servoing, the theoretical backgrounds and mathematical requirements of recursive least square (RLS) are stated respectively. Then the core uncalibrated visual servoing algorithm, in RLS form, or more technically, VS-RLS as well as its performance analysis, is investigated. After that, the experimental 6DOF Puma560 simulation of static and moving target tracking is demonstrated. Finally the weak and strength of the algorithm as well as the potential and promising improvements are discussed.
