    Problem

    This tutorial paper provides an educational overview of visual servoing, covering fundamental concepts, different approaches, and challenges.

    Method

    The authors divide visual servoing into image-based and position-based approaches, deriving control equations and analyzing stability and calibration issues for each.

    Finding

    Image-based servoing is generally faster and more robust, but may suffer from field-of-view limitations, while position-based servoing requires accurate 3D estimation but facilitates path planning.

    Limitations

    The paper does not cover deep learning-based visual servoing and focuses on classical methods.

    Practical application

    Visual servoing is used in industrial robotics, surgery, and human-robot interaction. In the finger robot project, it guides the finger toward keyboard keys based on screen images.
