Description
An anthropomorphic simulation laboratory, the
SIM
lab, that uses robotic hardware to
simulate sensori-motor coordination. This facility primarily consists of
high-speed binocular camera control
systems and an anthropomorphic four-fingered hand, each mounted on a PUMA
6-degree-of-freedom robot arm.
New results obtained with the equipment:
- A model driving agent was able to recognize and
respond to traffic lights and stop signs
in real time.
- The simulation harware was used to develop a
hierarchical Kalman filter-based model of visual
recognition that parsimoniously explains a number of well-known
psychophysical and neurophysiological
phenomena in the visual cortex.
