Pattern Recognition, ICPR'96 %V A %P 297-301 %C Vienna, Austria %X We propose in this paper solutions to avoid the joint limits and kinematic singularities in visual servoing. We use a control scheme based on the task function approach. It combines the regulation of the selected vision-based task with the minimization of a secondary cost function, which reflects the manipulability of the robot in the vicinity of joint limits and singularities %U http://rainbow-doc.irisa.fr/pdf/1996_icpr_marchand.pdf %U http://doi.org/10.1109/ICPR.1996.546037 %8 August %D 1996
