title: The locally linear nested network for robot manipulation creator: Smagt, P. van der creator: Groen, F. creator: Groenewoud, F. van het subject: Neural Nets subject: Robotics description: We present a method for accurate representation of high-dimensional unknown functions from random samples drawn from its input space. The method builds representations of the function by recursively splitting the input space in smaller subspaces, while in each of these subspaces a linear approximation is computed. The representations of the function at all levels (i.e., depths in the tree) are retained during the learning process, such that a good generalisation is available as well as more accurate representations in some subareas. Therefore, fast and accurate learning are combined in this method. The method, which is applied to hand-eye coordination of a robot arm, is shown to be superior to other neural networks. publisher: IEEE date: 1994 type: Conference Paper type: NonPeerReviewed format: application/postscript identifier: http://cogprints.org/496/2/SmaGroGro94b.ps identifier: Smagt, P. van der and Groen, F. and Groenewoud, F. van het (1994) The locally linear nested network for robot manipulation.
