Abstract :
Humanoid robots are complex sensorimotor systems where the existence of internal models are of utmost importance both for control purposes and for predicting the changes in the world arising from the system´s own actions. This so-called expected perception relies on the existence of accurate internal models of the robot´s sensorimotor chains.
