servoFrankaPBVS.cpp

Example of eye-in-hand image-based control law. We control here a real robot, the Franka Emika Panda robot (arm with 7 degrees of freedom). The velocity is computed in the camera frame. The inverse jacobian that converts cartesian velocities in joint velocities is implemented in the robot low level controller. Visual features correspond to the 3D pose of the target (an AprilTag) in the camera frame.

The device used to acquire images is a Realsense D435 device.

Camera extrinsic (eMc) parameters are set by default to a value that will not match Your configuration. Use –eMc command line option to read the values from a file. This file could be obtained following extrinsic camera calibration tutorial: https://visp-doc.inria.fr/doxygen/visp-daily/tutorial-calibration-extrinsic.html

Camera intrinsic parameters are retrieved from the Realsense SDK.

The target is an AprilTag that is by default 12cm large. To print your own tag, see https://visp-doc.inria.fr/doxygen/visp-daily/tutorial-detection-apriltag.html You can specify the size of your tag using –tag_size command line option.
