Designing a bio-inspired foveated active vision system

This paper presents the methodology involved in the design of a bio-inspired active stereo vision system that reproduces the foveal and peripheral vision capabilities of the human eye. The design is dictated by pertinent parameters relating to the kinematics and dynamics of saccadic motions of the human eye. We expose a specific drive-train design procedure and simulate some control techniques with the designed prototype to verify the adequacy of the chosen actuators.
