Robotics, Vision and Control

Tutorial introduction to robotics and vision

Easy to read and absorb, including Matlab examples and lots of figures

Written in a light but informative style, easy-to-read and absorb, and includes a lot of Matlab examples and figures

Explains how to choose the right algorithm for a particular problem how to try it out without spending days coding and debugging

Makes the algorithms accessible (so author’s Toolbox code can be read to gain understanding) and provides instant gratification in just a couple of lines of MATLAB code

Demonstrates how the code can also be the starting point for new work via writing programs based on Toolbox functions, or modifying the Toolbox code itself

Shows how complex problems can be decomposed and solved using just a few simple lines of code, and hopefully to inspire up and coming researchers

Walk through the fundamentals of robot kinematics, dynamics and joint level control, then camera models, image processing, feature extraction and epipolar geometry, then bring it all together in a visual servo system
