    Abstract

    In this paper an image-based dynamic visual feedback control for mobile manipulators is presented to solve the target tracking problem in the 3D-workspace. The design of the whole controller is based on two cascaded subsystems: a minimum norm visual kinematic controller which complies with the 3D target tracking objective, and an adaptive controller that compensates the dynamics of the mobile manipulator. Both the kinematic controller and the adaptive controller are designed to prevent from command saturation. Robot commands are defined in terms of reference velocities. Stability and robustness are proved by using Lyapunov's method. Finally, experimental results are presented to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed visual feedback controller.
