Self-organization via active exploration: hardware implementation of a neural robot

摘要

In a previous paper we presented a neural network called FRONTAL that attempted to capture the ability of Infants to actively self-organize in a non-stationary Environment. This paper describes the procedure Whereby FRONTAL is interfaced to a robotic system Called DART. DART comprises of a PUMA-562 arm And a real-time image processing system. The implement Tation procedure consisted of first connecting FRONTAL To a simulated DART robot. After successful operation, FRONTAL was connected to the real hardware DART.
