About

Tomas Uhlin is a researcher in active vision and robotic perception, with a focus on enabling machines to dynamically interact with their environments. His key research areas include binocular tracking, visual servoing, and closed-loop control for moving observers. Uhlin's major contributions center on the development of frameworks for detecting and pursuing moving objects from a moving platform, a critical challenge for autonomous systems. His seminal work, "Closing the loop: detection and pursuit of a moving object by a moving observer" (1996, 40 citations), established foundational principles for integrating visual feedback with motor control, allowing robots to maintain target fixation during motion. He also advanced binocular vision through "Phase-Based Disparity Estimation in Binocular Tracking" (1993, 10 citations), which introduced a robust method for vergence control—enabling independent camera movement to fixate on targets. This work directly addressed the problem of depth perception in active vision systems. With over 70 total citations, Uhlin's research has influenced subsequent work in robotic navigation and human-robot interaction. His contributions to "Active Vision and Seeing Robots" (1996, 6 citations) further solidified his role in shaping the field of visually guided robotics.
