Visually guided vergence in a new stereo camera system
Bibliographic record
Abstract
People move their eyes several times each second, to selectivelyanalyze visual information from specific locations. This is impor-tant, because analyzing the whole scene in foveal detail would re-quire a beachball-sized brain and thousands of additional caloriesper day. As artificial vision becomes more sophisticated, it mayface analogous constraints. Anticipating this, we previously devel-oped a robotic head with biologically realistic oculomotor capabil-ities. Here we present a system for accurately orienting the cam-eras toward a three-dimensional point. The robot’s cameras con-verge when looking at something nearby, so each camera shouldideally centre the same visual feature. At the end of a saccade,we combine priors with cross-correlation of the images from eachcamera to iteratively fine-tune their alignment, and we use the ori-entations to set focus distance. This system allows the robot toaccurately view a visual target with both eyes.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
