Abstract
Described is a fault-tolerant electro-mechanical system that is able to saccade to a target by training and using a signal processing technique. The invention enables tracking systems, such as next generational cameras, to be developed for autonomous platforms and surveillance systems where environment conditions are unpredictable. The invention includes at least one sensor configured to relay a signal containing positional information of a stimulus. At least one actuator is configured to manipulate the sensor to enable the sensor to track the stimulus. A processing device is configured to receive positional information from each sensor and each actuator. The processing device sends a positional changing signal to at least one actuator and adjusts at least one positional changing signal according to the information from each sensor and each actuator to enable the actuator to cause the sensor to track the stimulus.
