Abstract
For image-based visual servoing (IBVS) of a robotic arm with field of view (FOV) and performance constraints, this paper proposes a finite-time IBVS control method with prescribed performance. Due to the limited FOV of the camera, the visibility constraint needs to be considered, and a time-varying performance function is introduced to ensure that the image features are always within the FOV during visual servoing. The performance function is used to constrain the image error and incorporates the asymmetric barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) to design the controller, ensuring the transient and steady-state performance of the IBVS system. The finite-time Lyapunov stability theorem ensures the rapid stabilization of the system. The effectiveness of the control method is verified through experimental studies.
期刊介绍:
Control Engineering Practice strives to meet the needs of industrial practitioners and industrially related academics and researchers. It publishes papers which illustrate the direct application of control theory and its supporting tools in all possible areas of automation. As a result, the journal only contains papers which can be considered to have made significant contributions to the application of advanced control techniques. It is normally expected that practical results should be included, but where simulation only studies are available, it is necessary to demonstrate that the simulation model is representative of a genuine application. Strictly theoretical papers will find a more appropriate home in Control Engineering Practice''s sister publication, Automatica. It is also expected that papers are innovative with respect to the state of the art and are sufficiently detailed for a reader to be able to duplicate the main results of the paper (supplementary material, including datasets, tables, code and any relevant interactive material can be made available and downloaded from the website). The benefits of the presented methods must be made very clear and the new techniques must be compared and contrasted with results obtained using existing methods. Moreover, a thorough analysis of failures that may happen in the design process and implementation can also be part of the paper.
The scope of Control Engineering Practice matches the activities of IFAC.
Papers demonstrating the contribution of automation and control in improving the performance, quality, productivity, sustainability, resource and energy efficiency, and the manageability of systems and processes for the benefit of mankind and are relevant to industrial practitioners are most welcome.
