This year, the Keynote Address will be delivered by Dr. Nicholas Gans. Dr. Gans is an Assistant Professor at the University of Texas at Dallas. His research interests lie within the realm of controls in robotics, with a focus on vision-based estimation and control for robots and autonomous vehicles. Other interests include active and adaptive sensor placement and visualisation systems, such as virtual reality. |
Title: Vision-Based Control Beyond Position and Velocity Regulation
Abstract: The methods developed for visual servoing thirty years ago are still successfully used today. Current advances in the field still often employ the original design methods. However, there are problems that are not well addressed by the classic approaches. Furthermore, novel approaches to these problems can often alleviate other problems, such as computationally expensive or error prone feature extraction and matching, and nonholonomic constraints on mobile robots. This talk will present two such research problems, tracking multiple objects with mobile cameras, and maximizing the information content contained in an image.
