Abstract in brief
- This paper discusses how robots can build a complete visual selfmodel of their own body by using data-driven approaches, moving beyond traditional models that only predict specific movements like joint positions.
- The authors propose a new type of selfmodel that responds to space occupancy queries based on the robot's current state, making it more versatile, accurate, and efficient for various tasks, including motion planning and damage recovery.
- Experiments show that this visual selfmodel can accurately represent about 1% of the robot's workspace, thereby helping robots adapt, control their movements, and recover from damages more effectively.]
