In robotic systems with moving cameras control of gaze allows for image stabilization,
tracking and attention switching. Proper integration of these capabilities lets the robot exploit …

In this paper we address the problem of executing fast gaze shifts toward a visual target with
a robotic platform. The robotic platform is an anthropomorphic head with seven degrees of …

This paper presents a general gaze control algorithm for humanoid robot head. Gaze control
is an essential visual behavior for human-robot interaction. Calculation of the distance to …

Stabilizing the visual system is a crucial issue for any sighted mobile creature, whether it will
be natural or artificial. The more immune the gaze of an animal or a robot is to various kinds …

Humans use eye gaze in their daily interaction with other humans. Humanoid robots, on the
other hand, have not yet taken full advantage of this form of implicit communication. In this …

The vestibulo-ocular reflex stabilizes vision in many vertebrates. It integrates inertial and
visual information to drive the eyes in the opposite direction to head movement and thereby …

Oculomotor control in a humanoid robot faces similar problems as biological oculomotor
systems, that is, capturing targets accurately on a very narrow fovea, dealing with large …

Eye movements are closely related to motor actions, and hence can be used to infer motor
intentions. Additionally, eye movements are in some cases the only means of …

Important aspects of present-day humanoid robot research is to make such robots look
realistic and human-like, both in appearance, as well as in motion and mannerism. In this …

In order to provide a test bed for our computational brain research, we have developed a full-
body humanoid (Fig. 1) that includes an active binocular vision system consisting of two …
