Walking around fat obstacles
We prove that if an object O is convex and fat then, for any two points a and b on its boundary, there exists a path on O’s boundary, from a to b, whose length is bounded by the length of the line segment ab times some constant β. This constant is a function of the dimension d and the fatness parameter. We prove bounds for β, and show how to efficiently find paths on the boundary of O whose len...
متن کاملSpeeded Reaching Movements around Invisible Obstacles
We analyze the problem of obstacle avoidance from a Bayesian decision-theoretic perspective using an experimental task in which reaches around a virtual obstacle were made toward targets on an upright monitor. Subjects received monetary rewards for touching the target and incurred losses for accidentally touching the intervening obstacle. The locations of target-obstacle pairs within the worksp...
متن کاملBats Broaden Sonar Field of View to Maneuver around Obstacles
Spotting a friend in a crowded room is a challenge, but we manage to do so by adjusting our visual spotlight of attention to search our surroundings. Animals that depend on other senses can adapt to similar situations. Egyptian fruit bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus), for example, use echolocation to orient inside their caves and to find fruit hidden in the branches of trees in Africa and the Middle...
متن کاملEgocentric information helps desert ants to navigate around familiar obstacles.
Homing ants have been shown to associate directional information with familiar landmarks. The sight of these local cues might either directly guide the path of the ant or it might activate a landmark-based vector that points towards the goal position. In either case, the ants define their courses within allocentric systems of reference. Here, we show that desert ants, Cataglyphis fortis, forced...
متن کاملRavens, Corvus corax, follow gaze direction of humans around obstacles.
The ability to follow gaze (i.e. head and eye direction) has recently been shown for social mammals, particularly primates. In most studies, individuals could use gaze direction as a behavioural cue without understanding that the view of others may be different from their own. Here, we show that hand-raised ravens not only visually co-orient with the look-ups of a human experimenter but also re...
