EURON Interest Group on "Visual Servoing" |
 |
Visual servoing is a well-established robot control technique using vision in feedback control loops. Though the first systems date back to the late 1970s and early 1980s, it is not until the mid 1990s that there is a sharp increase in publications and working systems, due to the availability of fast and affordable vision processing systems.
The issue has raised much attention from the main journals in vision and robotics, with the publication of special issues: 1996 IEEE Tr. on R&A 12(5) 1996, IEEE R&A Magazine 5 (4), 1998, IJCV 37 (1), 2000), IJRR (CFP 2001).
Workshops, tutorials, invited sessions, have been organized in the framework of the most important robotics conferences throughout the world: ICRA 94, 96, 98; IROS’97; AAAI’00; ECCV’00; CIRA’01.
Active research groups across Europe account for significant advances in this field: INRIA, IRISA, Blaise Pascal University, U. Strasbourg in France, KTH in Sweden, DLR in Germany, U. Genova in Italy, Jaume-I University in Spain, Technical U. of Vienna in Austria, U. of Cambridge, U. of Reading in England, among others.
The interest group will focus on the promotion, settlement, and dissemination of activities regarding this topic among the research and academic European community.
Organization of workshops, tutorials and sessions in international conferences in Europe (IROS’02). Particularly,
Establishment of an information network on these issues: web site, resource repository (software, publications, etc.)
Set-up of an infrastructure for information exchange; stimulation of personnel (junior researchers) exchange, establishment of links and co-operations with other IGs.
