Binocular 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 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...
متن کاملA Novel Form of Stereo Vision in the Praying Mantis
Stereopsis is the ability to estimate distance based on the different views seen in the two eyes [1-5]. It is an important model perceptual system in neuroscience and a major area of machine vision. Mammalian, avian, and almost all machine stereo algorithms look for similarities between the luminance-defined images in the two eyes, using a series of computations to produce a map showing how dep...
متن کاملThe mantis head camera (why the praying mantis is so good at catching its prey)
Inspired by the abilities of the praying mantis to judge distance to its prey before the strike by use of motion-based visually mediated odometry, we create miniature model for depth estimation that are similar to the head movements of the Praying Mantis. We develop mathematical models of the praying mantis behavior and describe our implementations and experimental environment. We investigate s...
متن کاملA Schema Based Model of the Praying Mantis
We present a schema-based agent architecture which is inspired by an ethological model of the praying mantis. It includes an inner state, perceptual and motor schemas, several routines, a fovea and a motor. We describe the design and implementation of the architecture and we use it for comparing two models: the former uses reactive, stimulusresponse schemas; the latter involves also forward mod...
