Visual Servoing on Wheels: Robust Robot Orientation Estimation in Remote Viewpoint Control

This work proposes a fast deployment pipeline for visually-servoed robots which does not assume anything about either the robot - e.g. sizes, colour or the presence of markers - or the deployment environment. Specifically, we apply a learning based approach to reliably estimate the pose of a robot in the image frame of a 2D camera upon which a visual servoing control system can be deployed. To all...
