Parallel design of algorithms increases the precision of this kind of controller, while minimizing the response time. Additionally, a control framework to dynamically visual control robot arms is proposed. The direct image-based visual controllers derived from the framework allow for tracking trajectories obtaining different dynamic behaviors depending on a weighting matrix. A new method to compensate the chaos behavior of this kind of system is also included in the proposed framework. To exemplify the feasibility of the FPGA-based proposed framework, and to demonstrate the effects of the metrics, some of the derived controllers are evaluated during the tracking of image trajectories.
