A1 Martín Rico, Francisco A1 Matellán Olivera, Vicente A2 Arquitectura y Tecnologia de Computadores K1 Informática K1 Robótica K1 RoboCup K1 Humanoides AB Visual attention is a natural tool which allowsanimals to locate relevant objects or areas in a given scene,discarding the rest of elements present and thus reducing theamount of information to deal with. In this paper we present thedesign an implementation of a visual attention mechanism basedon a saliency map and its implementation in the Nao humanoid.This control mechanism is applied to solve one of the challengesproposed in the RoboCup competition named ”any-ball”. Theresults obtained are analysed and future works derived fromthat analysis are presented YR 2012 FD 2012-10-17 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10612/1911 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10612/1911 NO 10th IEEE-RAS Internatioinal Conference on Humanoid Robotics, 6-8 de diciembre, 2010, Sheraton Nashville Downtown, Nashville, TN (USA) DS BULERIA.
