We will introduce resolved-rate motion control which is a classical Jacobian-based scheme for moving the end-effector at a specified velocity without having to compute inverse kinematics.

Most computers today have a built-in camera. Let’s look at how we can grab images directly from such a camera and put them in the MATLAB workspace.

An alternative for smooth motion between poses is Cartesian interpolated motion which leads to straight line motion in 3D space.

The pinhole or lensed camera is very similar to our eye, but there are lots of other ways to build a camera.

To move a robot smoothly from one pose to another we need smooth and coordinated motion of all the joints. The simplest approach is called joint interpolated motion but it has some limitations.

A body moving in 3D space has a translational velocity and a rotational velocity. The combination is called spatial velocity and is described by a 6-element vector.

One very powerful trick used by humans is binocular vision. The images from each eye are quite similar, but there is a small horizontal shift, a disparity, between them and that shift is a function of the object distance.

In order to determine the size and distance of objects in the scene our brain uses a number of highly evolved tricks. Let’s look at some of these.
