Abstract

In this paper, visual servoing control scheme for mobile robot navigation is discussed. The survey introduces a brief discussion of the subjects of the system under consideration. These subjects include mobile robot platform kinematics, vision systems, visual servoing, mapping, navigation, automatic control, and finally the avoidance techniques used to avoid obstacle during the navigation process.  Different vision based navigation systems will be discussed and a comparative study will be given.
