Bringing Visual Servoing into Real World Applications

Substantial work has been published in visual servoing over the years, yet we have seen few real world applications. We discuss four different milestones (human robot interaction (HRI), tracking, multi-view geometry and visual servoing) needed to bring visual servoing into an unstructured human environment. We focus our efforts on HRI and tracking which we think are the link to bring visual servoing towards more practical applications.
