AbstractWe present a neural network approach to early motor learning. The goal is to explore the needs for bootstrapping the control of hand movements in a biologically plausible learning scenario. The model is applied to the control of hand postures of the humanoid robot ASIMO by means of full upper body movements. For training, we use an efficient online scheme for recurrent reservoir networks consisting of supervised backpropagation-decorrelation outp...

AbstractIn Bayesian-based tracking systems, prediction is an essential part of the framework. It models object motion and links the internal estimated motion parameters with sensory measurement of the object from the outside world. In this paper a Bayesian-based tracking system with multiple prediction models is introduced. The benefit of multiple model prediction is that each of the models has individual strengths suited for different situations. For ex...

AbstractIn new vehicles, increasingly more advanced driver assistance systems (ADASs) have been incorporated in order to assist the driver in dangerous situations. Through warnings and interventions, ADASs increase the safety of the driver and others using the road. At the moment, mainly cameras and radar sensors are used in ADASs for sensing the environment. Laser sensors may also be used and present an advantage to radar in that they can detect slow mo...
Sven Rebhan and Julian Eggert , "Consistent Modeling of Functional Dependencies along with World Knowledge", Proceedings of the International Conference on Cognitive Information Systems Engineering (ICCISE), pp. 341-348, 2009.
AbstractIn this paper we propose a method for visual systems to consistently represent functional dependencies between different visual routines along with relational short- and long-term knowledge about the world. Here the visual routines are bound to visual properties of objects stored in the memory of the system. Furthermore the functional dependencies between the visual routines are seen as a graph also belonging to the object’s structure. This graph...

AbstractDynamic field theory models the spatio-temporal evolution of activity within the cortex and has been successfully applied in various domains. However, the development of dynamic neural fields (DNFs) is only rarely explored. This is due to the fact that DNFs are sensible to the right balance between excitation and inhibition within the fields. Small changes to this balance will result in runaway excitation or quiescence. Consequently, learning mos...
