NJF extends this approach by learning not only the robot's shape, but also a Jacobian field, a function that predicts how any point on the robot's body moves in response to motor commands.

Visual servoing is a pivotal technique in robotics whereby real‐time image feedback is exploited to guide the motion of a robotic system. This approach enables robots to perform complex tasks ...
