     abstract      = { Can early visual attention processes facilitate the selection and execution of simple robotic actions? We believe that this is the case. Following the selection--for--action agenda known from human attention, we show that central perceptual processing can be avoided or at least relieved from managing simple motor processes. In an attention--classification--action cycle, salient pre-attentional structures are used to provide features to set of parallel classifiers. Their action proposals are coordinated, parametrized (via direct parameter specification from the pre-attentional stage), and executed. We evaluate the system with a simulated mobile robot. }
