Abstract
This review presents a sampling of recent research on the design of perceptual systems for robots, with special emphasis on pattern recognition based on an array of touch sensors, and optic flow techniques for depth extraction and navigation based on a sequence visual images. It not only presents specific work in machine vision, machine touch and robotics, but also illuminates what we believe to be general principles for the design of perceptual systems for an animal, or human, as well as for a robot.Keywords
