Summary
This paper presents stereo active vision system for a humanoid head developed at PJIIT Robotics and Multiagent Systems Lab. The system is able to foveate on a salient object and then maintain that object in the focus of attention. The task decomposition was based on the developmental approach of human infants thus allowing step by step achievements of skills. Visual behaviors matching eye movements were implemented on a network of computers running real time system.
