Comment on Facebook

Explore research using head-cams and high-tech motion-capture cameras allows perception scientists to verify the manner in which pursuers couple themselves to their target. Findings with humans, dogs and autonomous robots confirm that fielders solve this seemingly complex problem with just a few remarkably simple control rules, they basically move to keep the image of the target rising continuously along a straight line. The control rules that emerge are generic, nearly universal and can be generalized to a broad range of human, animal and robotic functioning.
