Detailed Description

Adaptive gain computation.

As described in [23], a varying gain $ \lambda $ could be used in the visual servoing control law

\[{\bf v}_c = -\lambda {\bf L}^{+}_{e} {\bf e}\]

with

\[ \lambda (|| {\bf e}||) = (\lambda_0 - \lambda_\infty) e^{ -\frac{ \lambda'_0}{\lambda_0 - \lambda_\infty}||{\bf e}||} + \lambda_\infty \]

where:

  • $\lambda_0 = \lambda(0)$ is the gain in 0, that is for very small values of $||{\bf e}||$
  • $\lambda_\infty = \lambda_{||{\bf e}|| \rightarrow \infty}\lambda(||{\bf e}||)$ is the gain to infinity, that is for very high values of $||{\bf e}||$
  • $\lambda'_0$ is the slope of $\lambda$ at $||{\bf e}|| = 0$

As described in Tutorial: How to boost your visual servo control law, the interest of Using an adaptive gain is to reduce the time to convergence in order to speed up the servo.

The following example shows how to use this class in order to use an adaptive gain with the following parameters $\lambda_0 = 4$, $\lambda_\infty = 0.4 $ and $\lambda'_0 = 30$.

#include <visp3/vs/vpAdaptiveGain.h>
#include <visp3/vs/vpServo.h>
int main()
{
vpAdaptiveGain lambda(4, 0.4, 30); // lambda(0)=4, lambda(oo)=0.4 and lambda'(0)=30
vpServo servo;
servo.setLambda(lambda);
while(1) {
}
}

This other example shows how to use this class in order to set a constant gain $\lambda = 0.5$ that will ensure an exponential decrease of the task error.

#include <visp3/vs/vpAdaptiveGain.h>
#include <visp3/vs/vpServo.h>
int main()
{
vpAdaptiveGain lambda(0.5);
vpServo servo;
servo.setLambda(lambda);
while(1) {
}
}
