Low cost robot arm with visual guided positioning

Low cost robotic solutions are of great importance for improvement and development of robotics. In this paper, two visually guided low cost robot arms are proposed. The proposed system performs automatic hand-eye calibration and, after the calibration, positions its end effector above the object of interest using visual servoing based on off the shelf marker tracker. The presented experiments demonstrate positioning accuracy of the proposed setup.
