Active Vision and Neural Development in Animals and Robots

چکیده
Brains are characterized by limited bandwidth and computational resources. At any point in time, we can focus our attention only to a limited set of features or objects. One of the most remarkable –and often neglected– differences between machine vision and biological vision is that computers are often asked to process an entire image in one shot and produce an immediate answer whereas animals are free to explore the image over time searching for features and dynamically integrating information over time.

Effective Mechatronic Models and Methods for Implementation an Autonomous Soccer Robot
Omni directional mobile robots have been popularly employed in several applications especially in soccer player robots considered in Robocup competitions. However, Omni directional navigation system, Omni-vision system and solenoid kicking mechanism in such mobile robots have not ever been combined. This situation brings the idea of a robot with no head direction into existence, a comprehensi...
متن کاملForward kinematic analysis of planar parallel robots using a neural network-based approach optimized by machine learning
The forward kinematic problem of parallel robots is always considered as a challenge in the field of parallel robots due to the obtained nonlinear system of equations. In this paper, the forward kinematic problem of planar parallel robots in their workspace is investigated using a neural network based approach. In order to increase the accuracy of this method, the workspace of the parallel robo...

In this paper, we describe the artificial evolution of adaptive neural controllers for an outdoor mobile robot equipped with a mobile camera. The robot can dynamically select the gazing direction by moving the body and/or the camera. The neural control system, which maps visual information to motor commands, is evolved online by means of a genetic algorithm, but the synaptic connections (recept...
