This control technique is issued from a need to simplify input parameters for automatic generation of motions, according to the simulation of the visual perception for a synthetic humanoïd. The proposed method is founded on an image-based technique or more commonly called in the robotic field visual servoing. It consists in controlling the humanoïd's motions through the image it ``perceives''. This approach is dedicated to highly reactive contexts (video games, virtual reality), as far as it is based on a closed loop system. We also discuss of the integration of such a technique in a more complex behavioural system %U http://rainbow-doc.irisa.fr/pdf/2001_ca_courty.pdf %U http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/CA.2001.982379 %8 November %D 2001
