Sensory-Motor Coordination in Gaze Control

چکیده
In the field of artificial intelligence, there is a considerable interest in the notion of sensory-motor coordination as an explanation for intelligent behaviour. However, there has been little research on sensory-motor coordination in tasks that go beyond low-level behavioural tasks. In this paper we show that sensory-motor coordination can also enhance performance on a high-level task: artificial gaze control for gender recognition in natural images. To investigate the advantage of sensory-motor coordination, we compare a non-situated model of gaze control (incapable of sensory-motor coordination) with a situated model of gaze control (capable of sensorymotor coordination). The non-situated model of gaze control shifts the gaze according to a fixed set of locations, optimised by an evolutionary algorithm. The situated model of gaze control determines gaze shifts on the basis of local inputs in a visual scene. An evolutionary algorithm optimises the model’s gaze control policy. From the experiments performed, we may conclude that sensory-motor coordination contributes to artificial gaze control for the highlevel task of gender recognition in natural images: the situated model outperforms the non-situated model. The mechanism of sensory-motor coordination establishes dependencies between multiple actions and observations that are exploited to optimise categorisation performance.

This paper shows that sensory-motor coordination contributes to the performance of situated models on the high-level task of artificial gaze control for gender recognition in static natural images. To investigate the advantage of sensory-motor coordination, we compare a non-situated model of gaze control with a situated model. The non-situated model is incapable of sensory-motor coordination.

متن کاملA neural model for eye-head-arm coordination
The coordinated movement of the eyes, the head and the arm is an important ability in both animals and humanoid robots. To achieve this the brain and the robot control system need to be able to perform complex non-linear sensory-motor transformations in the forward and inverse directions between many degrees of freedom. In this article, we apply an omni-directional basis function neural network...

متن کاملEye-hand coordination during learning of a novel visuomotor task.
We investigated how gaze behavior and eye-hand coordination change when subjects learned a challenging visuomotor task that required acquisition of a novel mapping between bimanual actions and their visual sensory consequences. By applying isometric forces and torques to a rigid tool held freely between the two hands, subjects learned to control a cursor on a computer screen to hit successively...
