[email protected] Abstract For a mobile robot to perform some sort of useful function it usually must have some sort of global understanding of its environment. This is usually expressed in the form of map. Through real-world experiments, using a mobile robot inspired by insect visual guidance, we present results showing the performance of a mobile robot in recognising a previously encountered corridor environment and discriminating between various corridors. This is achieved through the building and re nement of maps based on the observation of simple landmarks en route.

Landmark guidance and vector navigation in outbound desert ants.
This study deals with the influence landmark information has on the foraging behaviour of the desert ant, Cataglyphis fortis, especially with the interaction of such landmark information with the ants' path integration system. We show in the first experiment that desert ants that are captured immediately after leaving their nest and then transferred to a remote test area search for the nest rat...
متن کاملCoarse Qualitative Descriptions in Robot Navigation
This work is about the integration of the skills robot control, landmark recognition, and qualitative reasoning in a single autonomous mobile system. It deals with the transfer of coarse qualitative route descriptions usually given by humans into the domain of mobile robot navigation. An approach is proposed that enables the Bremen Autonomous Wheelchair to follow a route in a building, based on...
متن کاملOn the Adequateness of Emergency Exit Panel and Corridor Identification as Pilot Scheme for a Mobile Robot
There are different approaches to mobile robot navigation. Landmark-based localization has shown to be the alternative to simple dead-reckoning, but often landmarks are environmental specific, and recognition algorithms are computationally very expensive. This paper presents an approach to landmark-based navigation using emergency exit pannels and corridors as cues, without odometric informatio...
متن کاملThe effects of linear perspective on relative size discrimination in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and humans (Homo sapiens).
In this study, we tested the corridor illusion in three chimpanzees and five humans, applying a relative size discrimination task to assess pictorial depth perception using linear perspective. The subjects were required to choose the physically larger cylinder of two on a background containing drawn linear perspective cues. We manipulated both background and cylinder size in each trial. Our fin...
متن کاملLandmark discrimination learning in the dog.
Allocentric spatial memory was studied in dogs of varying ages and sources using a landmark discrimination task. The primary goal of this study was to develop a protocol to test landmark discrimination learning in the dog. Using a modified version of a landmark test developed for use in monkeys, we successfully trained dogs to make a spatial discrimination on the basis of the position of a visu...
