Head Movements for Depth Perception: Praying Mantis versus Pigeon
Inspired by the abilities of both the praying mantis and the pigeon to judge distance by use of motionbased visually mediated odometry, we create miniature models for depth estimation that are similar to the head movements of these animals. We develop mathematical models of the praying mantis and pigeon visual behavior and describe our implementations and experimental environment. We investigat...
متن کاملBinocular Spatial Localization in the Praying Mantis
The way in which mantids localize the direction and the distance of their prey has been analysed, to clarify the importance of binocular interactions. The results suggest the following major points: 1. Binocular interactions coordinate monocular directional information, such that the direction in which a mantid fixates its prey is intermediate between the image directions in the two eyes (Figs ...
متن کاملSmall or far away? Size and distance perception in the praying mantis
Stereo or '3D' vision is an important but costly process seen in several evolutionarily distinct lineages including primates, birds and insects. Many selective advantages could have led to the evolution of stereo vision, including range finding, camouflage breaking and estimation of object size. In this paper, we investigate the possibility that stereo vision enables praying mantises to estimat...
متن کاملThe perception of apparent motion.
P roducers of motion pictures, tele vision programs and even neon signs have long banked on the fact that human beings have a quirk in their visual system. When it is con fronted with a rapid series of still im ages, the mind can "fill in" the gaps between "frames" and imagine that it sees an object in continuous motion. For instance, a series of neon arrows lighted up in succession are perc...
متن کاملLeg Design for a Praying Mantis Robot
The praying mantis uses its front legs for locomotion, prey capture and feeding. Inspired by this dexterity, we began designing a hexapod robot that could use its front legs for both locomotion and manipulation. Our current work focuses on the middle and back legs of the robot. We designed a five degree of freedom leg, using a gimbal to form three intersecting axes of rotation at the hip to imi...
