In this paper, we present a new hybrid method of performing eye-to-hand coordination and manipulation to produce a working robot named COERSU. The method is an optimized combination of two neuro-fuzzy approaches developed by the authors: direct fuzzy servoing and fuzzy correction. The fuzzy methods are tuned by an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). On the whole, a genetic tuner and two neuro-fuzzy networks contribute to find the final optimum position of the robotic tooltip in order to grasp the target. Experimental results from COERSU in a table-top scenario to manipulate some soft objects (e.g. fruit/egg) also validate the method.
