	Robot (camera) -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		An updated version of this camera fitted with a Schneider Xenon 40mm f1.9 lens was released as the Robot IIa at the end of the war.
		The small camera could be concealed in a briefcase or a handbag, the lens poking though a decorative hole.
		Robot-Berning also produced enlarged versions of the Robot, the Robot Royal 24 and 36, with an incorporated (A measuring instrument (acoustic or optical or electronic) for finding the distance of an object) rangefinder and with an autoburst mode of operation capable of shooting 6 frames per second.

	Robotic Adaptive Welding with Laser Vision. . . . by Mike Garman, Project Engineer, Kawasaki Robotics (USA), ...
		The camera field of view (FOV) is leading the welding torch along the welding path with the typical camera emitting a laser line similar to a barcode scanner.
		With the adaptive vision system, the robot is able to adjust the amount of filler put into the weld for each pass as well as determining the number of passes that would be needed to fill the groove.
		One of the on-going issues with using vision for positioning is incorrect calibration between the robot and camera as well as unpredictable positioning of the weld wire.

	Robot combined with swallowable camera could give docs a better look inside the small intestine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The capsule camera snaps thousands of pictures as it makes its way slowly through the narrow tract, carried by the wave-like peristaltic motion that moves all contents through the intestines.
		Swallowable cameras, which were pioneered by Israel's Given Imaging but now are being developed by several companies, already have changed the treatment of gastrointestinal bleeding and inflammatory bowel disease.
		The disposable camera is ingested by the patient and, as peristalsis carries the capsule on an eight-hour journey through the small intestine, it snaps thousands of images that are transmitted to a data recorder that the patient wears.

	CNN - Robot camera on Mir abandoned after malfunction - Dec. 17, 1997
		MOSCOW (CNN) -- A new, powerful camera tested as an inspection tool for the Russian Mir space station malfunctioned shortly after it was launched on Wednesday and had to be abandoned, Russian space officials said.
		The decision came after the Inspector robot camera, co-engineered by Germany and Russia, was facing in the wrong direction and was not responding properly to remote steering commands from Mir.
		The camera, which is being tested for eventual use in the next century as a robot maintenance tool on the planned international space station Alpha, had been released from a cargo craft about 500 meters (yards) from the main Mir complex a few hours earlier.

	Beyond the Web (Conference Paper)
		The robot and camera provide an updated image of the environment, which is combined with a schematic of the robot arm/workspace and control buttons to produce the final GIF image that is send to users.
		Since the robot can only be controlled by one person at a time, a registration scheme was implemented to allow the server to track operators as they move on to the waiting queue and progress to controlling the robot.
		Further extensions for this project might include: the robot could be placed out in the field, in a remote anthropological site or on the moon; the camera could be replaced with a scanning electron microscope; or the remote operator could be a doctor examining a patient or a specialist performing remote inspection or manufacturing.

	Software eases remote robot control TRN 082201
		The human and the remote robot exchange questions and information, so the robot can decide how to use human advice, following it when it is forthcoming and relevant, and modifying it when the advice is unsafe or inappropriate, he said.
		For example, if the robot is standing directly in front of a smooth, untextured wall with a large plant close by, each sensor will miss something from the scene.
		Putting the vision system on the robot allows a user to have a direct visual interaction with the robot, controlling it by hand gestures such as pointing an arm to where the robot should go, he said.

		Another form of directive would be one that changes its mode of behavior, such as telling the robot to change it behavior from that of stationary, passive observation to a active patrolling of the environment it has mapped.
		Further, the robot would need to be able to distinguish true objects from other artifacts such as shadows, light reflections, and two-dimensional patterns on the floor so that the robot does not, for example, interpret a deep shadow or stain on the rug as an insurmountable obstacle.

	Highlights
		For control of the camera head the Harvard group has based their system design on the human control system and they have tried to implement a closed loop control cycle which has a performance similar to human vision.
		The result is a small robot head which may be fitted at the end of a traditional robot arm while still leaving space for the end effector (i.e., a gripper).
		This standard protocol and its use in connection with a robot head build at LIFIA in France is described in the last paper in the robot camera head section.

	Rajeev Sharma's Research in Active Vision for Optimizing Visual Feedback (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Incorporating active vision in the robot control loop requires an understanding of the effect of the camera position on control.
		An important issue is how the position of the camera effects its ability to observe the motion of an object (possibly a robot manipulator).
		Further, the motion perceptibility can be combined with the traditional robot manipulability to yield a composite measure which can then be used for formally defining various active vision based planning and control tasks.

	Calibration of the DIKU Robot-Camera System - Petersen, Olsen (ResearchIndex) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Abstract: This paper describes a procedure to calibrate a two degree of freedom robot, which is able to translate and rotate a turntable on which a camera is mounted.
		The calibration enables the transformation of the coordinates of an image point, observed from any known position of the robot, to a 3D straight line, specified in a world coordinate system.
		This differs from calibration methods where a single or a number of stationary cameras are considered.
