servoViper850FourPointsKinect.cpp

Example of eye-in-hand control law. We control here a real robot, the Viper850 robot (cartesian robot, with 6 degrees of freedom). A kinect is attached to the hand. The velocity is computed in the kinect camera frame. Visual features are the image coordinates of 4 points.
