A generic central catadioptric interaction matrix for the projection of 3-D straight lines is derived using an unifying imaging model valid for an entire class of cameras. This result is exploited to design an image-based control law that allows us to control the 6 DOF of a robotic arm. Then, the projected lines are exploited to control a nonholonomic robot. We show that as when considering a robotic arm, the control objectives are mainly based on catadioptric image feature and that local asymptotic con- vergence is guaranteed. Simulation results and real experiments with a 6 DOF eye-to-hand system and a mobile robot illustrate the control strategy %U http://rainbow-doc.irisa.fr/pdf/2008_itro_hadj.pdf %U http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/TRO.2008.919288 %8 June %D 2008
