Online autonomous learning



We compare three regression algorithms, namely ISSGPR, LWPR and XCSF. We show that they can effectively learn the visuo-motor kinematic model of iCub for a simple visual servoing task in a very limited time (few minutes), without making any a priori hypothesis on the geometry of the robot and its tool.
