- (a little discussion which it seems appropriate to put on the net. I
- asked Bill Powers whether there was any evidence as to whether
- pointing/reaching behavior used slowed proportional integrators
- in the output, or direct control of velocity via differentiators in
- the perceptual circuits. said that it makes no difference, since
- in either case, control of velocity is achieved; I reply ...)
-
- Yes, the gross behavior would be the same, but (a) there might be subtle
- differences (b) the actual circuitry would be different. With
- differentiators for example, an error in, say joint angle would set
- a reference level for joint angular velocity, so the diagram would
- look like this:
-
- joint position ref.

- joint possie alpha-gamma effer.

- Which is different from what appears in Arm, I think.
-
- So I still think there's an empirical issue to be settled here.
