Abstract

This paper presents an entirely Transputer based system conceived to investigate the performance of different types of neural networks applied to robot-control. A robot of 5 degrees of freedom is to be controlled by an unsupervised associative neural network relying on visual feedback. The modular concept of the system allows to easily upgrade processing power and to add optional extensions. Training and performance testing are supported by a Silicon Graphics Workstation.
