This project provides a software module for the control of the binocular coordination of a robotic stereo head, based on a bio-inspired algorithm.
The project is now available for the iCub platform to work on YARP [https://github.com/stino78/vergence-control/][1]
The algorithm works on the top of a distributed representation of binocular disparity supplied by a population of binocular energy-model neural units. The project allows a robust control and adaptive binocular coordination for different robot stereo platforms.

I have never found a better and more performance vergence control! Also it is user friendly and easy to adapt to your robot head!! But I have to admit that I am the author, so there might be some conflicts of interest in my review... Anyway, try it and let me know!!
