Abstract

This paper describes a neural-based artificial system, called Paramount, for learning, storing, and reproducing parameterized motor sequences, i.e. temporal sequences consisting of motor commands as sequence elements. Paramount is designed to control the arm of a robot, mimicking the functionality of specific parts of the human motor system up to a certain extent. After having been trained with a number of sample sequences, Paramount is not only able to recall these sequences exactly as they were learned, but also to generalize slightly modified (scaled) versions according to a set of parameters.
