Working Paper
A system is proposed for the development of new techniques for the control and monitoring of a mechanical arm-hand. The use of visual feedback is seen to provide new interactive capabilities in a machine hand-eye system. The proposed system explores the use of visual feedback in such operations as the pouring and stirring of liquids, the location of objects for grasping, and the simple rote learning of new arm motions.
