The Control Miniproject

Eye-in-hand visual servoing of a serial robotic manipulator

Four MSc Mechatronics students designed and built a camera-guided control system for a four-degree-of-freedom robot. Using live wrist-camera feedback and MATLAB/Simulink, the robot located, approached, grasped and lifted a coloured ball.
