Abstract :
Present a perspective in relation to the use of vision for the control of robots and for the monitoring of robot actions. In order to explain the approach some experiments have been performed in the field of object manipulation and robot navigation. In particular the monitoring of pushing and tapping actions by means of dynamic measurements performed on image sequences are reported. The experiments show that, not only it seems possible to detect unexpected events, but it is possible to control the arm or vehicle trajectory in such a way to achieve a complex task like the pushing of an unknown object along a predetermined trajectory
