Abstract
The ability to orient toward visual, auditory, or tactile stimuli is an important skill for systems intended to interact with and explore their environment. In the brain of mammalian vertebrates, the Superior Colliculus is specialized for integrating multi-modal sensory information, and for using this information to orient the animal to the source sensory stimuli, such as noisy, moving objects. Within the Superior Colliculus, this ability appears to be implemented using layers of registered, multi-modal, topographic maps. Inspired by the structure, function, and plasticity of the Superior Colliculus, we are in the process of implementing multi-modal orientation behaviors on our humanoid robot using registered topographic maps. In this paper, we explore integrating visual motion and oculomotor maps to study experiencebased map registration mechanisms. Continuing work includes incorporating self-organizing feature maps, including more sensory modalities such as auditory and somatorsensor...
