Abstract
An active sensor system using parallel processing circuits is proposed and its characteristics are discussed. From the viewpoint of a model of sensory processing mechanism of active touch, the system uses information of efferent copy and internal model of actuator in order to generate active motions from the local pattern information sensed by local pattern sensors such as tactile sensors.
In this paper, an experimental system and its basic experimental results are also shown. The experimental system is a sensor system for active perception of the shape of two-dimensional objects by tracing the edge of the objects. The system realizes both high speed processing of the local pattern and real time control of the actuator.
