The paper presents a robust and precise means of achieving %27semiautonomous%27, vision-based robot control which may be applicable to a range of construction objectives. The method entails the designation of %27camera-space objectives%27 for use with the method of camera-space manipulation, by an intermediate step involving the direction of a narrow beam of light. The method is shown experimentally to be effective without the need to calibrate the geometry of participating elements, including manipulator, cameras, or laser-pointer-bearing pan/tilt unit.

The paper presents a robust and precise means of achieving 'semiautonomous', vision-based robot control which may be applicable to a range of construction objectives.
