Towards hierarchical blackboard mapping on a whiskered robot
The paradigm case for robotic mapping assumes large quantities of sensory information which allow the use of relatively weak priors. In contrast, the present study considers the mapping problem for a mobile robot, CrunchBot, where only sparse, local tactile information from whisker sensors is available. To compensate for such weak likelihood information, we make use of low-level signal processi...
متن کاملPredictive Prey Pursuit in a Whiskered Robot
Highly active small mammals need to capture prey rapidly and with a high success rate if they are to survive. We consider the case of the Etruscan shrew, which hunts prey including crickets almost as large as itself, and relies on its whiskers (vibrissae) to complete a kill. We model this hunting behaviour using a whiskered robot. Shrews strike rapidly and accurately after gathering very limite...

متن کاملSCRATCHbot: Active Tactile Sensing in a Whiskered Mobile Robot
The rodent vibrissal (whisker) system is one of the most widely investigated model sensory systems in neuroscience owing to its discrete organisation from the sensory apparatus (the whisker shaft) all the way to the sensory cortex, its ease of manipulation, and its presence in common laboratory animals. Neurobiology shows us that the brain nuclei and circuits that process vibrissal touch signal...
متن کاملMapping with Sparse Local Sensors and Strong Hierarchical Priors
The paradigm case for robotic mapping assumes large quantities of sensory information which allow the use of relatively weak priors. In contrast, the present study considers the mapping problem in environments where only sparse, local sensory information is available. To compensate for these weak likelihoods, we make use of strong hierarchical object priors. Hierarchical models were popular in ...
