In this work, a robotic visual servoing system using a fixed and uncalibrated camera is considered. Two adaptive controllers are proposed for visually tracking a moving target in the presence of camera parameters uncertainties. The first adaptive strategy uses the Hierarchy of Control method to solve the multivariable adaptive control problem. The second one is based on the symmetrization via factorization of the control matrix. The adaptive algorithms are robust in the sense that they present reduced sensitivity to kinematic uncertainties. Experimental results with a manipulator in a planar motion illustrate the robustness and viability of the proposed schemes.
