Abstract
Humans use many different kinds of information from different sensory organs in motion tasks. It is important in human sensing to extract useful information and effectively use the multiple kinds of information. From the viewpoint of a computational theory, we approach the integration mechanism of human sensory and motor information. In this study, the modular structure of auto-encoder is introduced to extract the intrinsic properties about a recognized object that are contained commonly in multiple kind of information. After the learning, the relaxation method using the learned model can solve the transformation between the integrated kinds of information. This model was applied to the problem how a locomotive robot decides a leg’s height to climb over an obstacle from the visual information.
