Visual Servoing Platform  version 3.5.0 under development (2022-02-15)
servoAfma4Point2DCamVelocity.cpp

Example of eye-in-hand control law. We control here a real robot, the Afma4 robot (cylindrical robot, with 4 degrees of freedom). The velocity is computed in the camera frame. The visual feature is the center of gravity of a point.
