Abstract

An extension of T. Kohonen's (Biol. Cybern., vol. 43, pp. 59-69, 1982; vol. 44, pp. 135-140, 1982) self-organizing mapping algorithm together with an error-correction rule of the Widrow-Hoff type is applied to develop an unsupervised learning scheme for the visuo-motor coordination of a simulated robot arm. Using input signals from a pair of cameras, the closed robot arm system is able to reduce its positioning error to about 0.3% of the linear dimensions of its work space. This is achieved by choosing the connectivity of a 3-D lattice between the units of the neural net.
