Abstract

Reaching ability is a kind of human sensory motor coordination. The objective of this work is to imitate the developmental progress of human infant to create a robotic system which can reach or capture objects. The work proposes to employ a double neural network architecture to implement control a robotic system to learn reaching within 3D experimental environment. A constraint releasing mechanism is applied to implement the development procedure for the robot system. In addition, the experimental results are described and discussed in this paper.
