Introducing robots into the operating theatre has become more popular in recent decades. Surgical manipulators have been developed to assist in surgeries like a human assistant to facilitate the surgical procedures. In this paper, we present an eye-controlled interface for the surgeon to control this kind of robot based on eye-tracking glasses. In our approach, we use the monitor for providing the...
In this paper, we address the positioning problem of remote centre of motion (RCM) mechanisms with uncalibrated image feedback from a monocular camera. Nowadays, RCM mechanisms are widely used in minimally invasive robotic surgery due to their ability to distally rotate a tool around a fixed entry port; note that in most surgical applications, the tools are typically controlled by manual/teleoperated...
This paper presents an illumination adaptive color object recognition method for robot soccer match. Generally, the colors are identified by referring to the pre-defined bounds for the components of each color. However, it is not an easy work to define non-interfered bounds for different colors, and the bounds are sensitive to illumination conditions. Instead, in this work, different colors are discriminated...
This paper presents a novel adaptive controller for image-based visual servoing of robots with an uncalibrated eye-in-hand camera using line features. The controller is developed based on three key ideas. First, we propose a new method that is similar to the Plucker coordinates, to represent projections of the lines features. The new representation leads to a depth-independent image Jacobian matrix...
This paper presents a novel adaptive controller for image-based visual servoing of robots with an eye-in-hand camera using angle and distance features. The key idea lies in the development of the depth-independent interaction matrix and the proposal of an adaptive algorithm for estimating the unknown geometric parameters of the features in the 3-D space. The Lyapunov theory is used to prove the asymptotic...
This paper presents a novel approach for image-based visual servoing of a robot manipulator with an eye-in-hand camera when the camera parameters are not calibrated and the 3-D coordinates of the features are not known. Both point and line features are considered. This paper extends the concept of depth-independent interaction (or image Jacobian) matrix, developed in earlier work for visual servoing...
