What is it about?
With this research, we intend to solve a very critical problem, automatic control of mobile robots on desired paths using computer vision. In such systems, the mobile robot is expected to automatically drive on a desired path (known as trajectory tracking) by getting visual feedback from camera(s). The vehicle reconstructs its position and velocity and angles and rotation rates with respect to a reference object at any instant of time during the motion

Why is it important?
The pose estimation algorithm is our system uses a linear solution, which is critical for real time applications. Also, our algorithm allows using one or multiple cameras without significant modifications in the system. Finally our solution is very robust to image noise and it outperforms state-of-the-art techniques on various comparisons
Perspectives
We have performed simulated and real experiments using the proposed method. The results are very promising and the method can easily be applied to many different robotic systems.
