Abstract

In this paper, a neurorobotic robot ‘eye’ for investigating the neural control of eye movements is developed and the performance of a computational model of image stabilization based on the adaptive filter model of the cerebellum is evaluated. For in-depth analysis, the cerebellum microcircuit is investigated and bioinspired control algorithm is developed. Inverse oculomotor plant model is simulated on Matlab/Simulink; first using simple Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex model; then using a second order model with Model Reference Adaptive Control. In addition, the robot ‘eye’ is built as a camera mount gimbal system and its architecture is calibrated.
