TL;DR: A neural-like network system that adaptively controls a visually guided, two-jointed robot arm to reach spot targets in three dimensions and learns and maintains visual-motor calibrations by itself.
Abstract: A neural-like network system that adaptively controls a visually guided, two-jointed robot arm to reach spot targets in three dimensions. The system learns and maintains visual-motor calibrations by itself, starting with only loosely defined relationships. The geometry of the system is composed of distributed, interleaved combinations of actuator inputs. It is fault tolerant and uses analog processing. Learning is achieved by modifying the distributions of input weights in the system after each arm positioning. Modifications of the weights are made incrementally according to errors of consistency between the actuator signals used to orient the cameras and those used to move the arm.
