Information Theory for Arm Visuo-Motor Coordination

Abstract

dc:description

The present work addresses the information processing of visuo-motor coordination. The aim of this research is to develop an adaptive model for coordinating mechanical action of an arm according to visual information. As a result, a large neural map has been generated which has been used to guide a pneumatically driven robot arm through a vision system consisting of image boards and two stereo cameras. This engineering approach has been employed to test the algorithm which might share close features with the way that biological beings solve the same sensory-motor task.
