Miura is the stereo version of Pulguita. Five degrees of freeedom with digital PID controlled servos and two ISight Firewire cameras. Specially indicated for the new dual-core processors.

Paper submitted to ICINCO-MARS 2007 describing the distributed architecture for visual attention and navigation that we are currently working on.

  abstract = {Attention mechanisms of biological vision have been applied to machine vision for several applications, like visual search and object detection. Most of the proposed models are centred on a unique way of attention, mainly stimulus-driven or bottom-up attention. We propose a visual attention system that integrates several attentional behaviours. To get a real-time implementation, we have designed a distributed software architecture that exhibits an efficient and flexible structure. We describe some implementation details and real experiments performed in a mobile robot endowed with a stereo vision head.},
