    • openAccess   Vision-based grasp tracking for planar objects 

      Recatalá Ballester, Gabriel; Carloni, Raffaella; Melchiorri, Claudio; Sanz, Pedro J; Cervera, Enric; del Pobil, Angel P. IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society (2008)
      In robotics, the manipulation of a priori unknown objects involves several steps and problems that must be carefully considered and solved by proper planning and control algorithms. For example, once suitable contact ...
    • closedAccess   Visual control of robots with delayed images 

      Pérez Vidal, Carlos; Gracia Marco, Luis; García, Nicolás; Cervera, Enric Brill (2009)
      This research develops a control scheme for visual servoing that explicitly takes into account the delay in- troduced by image acquisition and processing. For this purpose, a predictor block, i.e., an estimator that predicts ...
