Conf. on Intelligent Robots and Systems, IROS'09 %P 5968-5973 %C St Louis, USA %X In this paper, we present a controller for visual navigation, which utilizes a time-independent varying reference in the feedback law. The navigation framework relies on a monocular camera, and the path is represented as a series of key images. The varying reference is determined using a vector field, derived from the previous and next key images. Results in a simulated environment, as well as on a real robot, show the advantages of the varying reference, with respect tone, in the image, as well as in the 3D state space %U http://rainbow-doc.irisa.fr/pdf/2009_iros_cherubini.pdf %U http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/IROS.2009.5354284 %8 October %D 2009
