Abstract : The talk presents a dynamical system approach to learning forward
and inverse kinematics of a humanoid upper body in associative radial basis
function networks. Coupling of arm kinematics via the torso joints is modeled
by dynamically coupling two networks learning the direct inverse kinematics
of both torso-arm chains separately. Redundancies of the inverse kinematics
are represented by multi-stable dynamics of the associative networks and are
resolved dynamically depending on initial conditions.
