[comp.ai.neural-nets] Need help: Sequential Neural Networks

christof@ifr.ethz.ch (Christof Schaerer) (10/24/90)

Dear Connectionist,

I'm working in the field of robotics and would like to  generate time
sequences with a neural net for moving a robot arm along a trajectory.
The net should be able to give a trajectory if the end point is given. I
have read some papers about time-delay nets and Jordan nets as well as
attractor transition nets. Has anybody gained experience with these
approaches or found a better one? Is there any code available? 
I would be grateful if anybody could waste some time sending me some
information on these topics.

     I would suggest that you might find interesting the following two 
technical reports:

Jorgensen, Charles C. (1990). "Development of a Sensor Coordinated Kinematic
  Model for Neural Network Controller training". RIACS Tecnical Report 90.28

Jorgensen, Charles C. (1990). "Distributed Memory Approaches for Robotic
  Neural Controllers". RIACS Tecnical Report 90.29


These reports can be obtained by writing to:

	Attention SDM Publications
	RIACS Learning Systems Division
	NASA Ames Research Center
	MS 230-5
	Moffett Field, CA 94035
	U.S.A
	Phone (415) 604-4991
	Email sdmpubs@riacs.edu

The reports contain MATLAB code for the procedures.
