Abstract:

In this talk, I consider the hand-eye coordination problem in the multisensory case (cameras and laser range finders). First, a method is proposed to learn the direct transformation from sensory data to hand motions. By training a multi-layer perceptron for one homing position, the network can be modified such that new homing positions can be achieved without re-relearning. As an alternative to the neural network method, an analytical method is also proposed to identify the physical parameters of the sensors necessary for hand-eye coordination. Closed form solutions and conditions for a unique solution are derived in terms controlled motion sequences. Experimental results are presented, and advantages and disadvantages of each method are compared.
