Research
My research interests are visual servoing and hand-eye coordination. My research involves approximating the visuomotor function relating variations in the visual space to variations in the motor space at a global scale. The approximating method is based on machine learning where the system performs an online hand eye calibration by interacting with its environment or performing a task.
