Researchers have developed VGM-VS, a novel visual servoing method that leverages a pretrained visual geometry model for high-precision robotic control. This method estimates relative camera pose and iteratively applies it in a closed-loop system, maintaining reliability even with occluded or weakly textured targets. To address scale ambiguity, VGM-VS employs a scene-specific metric adaptation by fine-tuning on recorded image-pose pairs, eliminating the need for separate calibration. The system achieves submillimeter accuracy in real-world assembly tasks, demonstrating robust performance with high success rates under challenging conditions like occlusion and significant initial displacements.
