These control methods are applied to an uncalibrated robotic system with eye-in-hand visual feedback. Without a priori knowledge of the robot's kinematic model or camera calibration, the system is able to track a moving object and maintain the desired features. These control schemes estimate the system Jacobian as well as changes in target features due to target motion. Four novel strategies are simulated, and a variety of parameters are investigated with respect to performance
