AbstractManipulate robot through visual feedback is the theme of the thesis. Object identification from respectable image, representation of respectable area appears in image plane to generate coordinate and then using stereo correspondence, obtain 3D coordinate of object. However accuracy of coordinate is not as much as acceptable; apply of kalman filter for that. Thereafter simple projectile prediction model for ball motion is utilized and according to that robot is manipulated. As a joint actuators DC motor is used and as a position feedback, encoders is employed. Using simple PID controller apply for motors as a control algorithm for position control. However only for pitch axis PID with gravity compensation is being applied
