Towards an arti cial pinna for a narrow-band biomimetic sonarhead

چکیده
A genetic algorithm was used to evolve bat-like pinna shapes for a biomimetic sonarhead. Pinnae model consisted of small reeectors placed around the transducer. Experiments with ten reeectors showed the problem of phase cancellation in the received echoes. Analysis of phase cancellation suggests more realistic pinna models for future developments .

متن کاملArtificial Ears for a Biomimetic Sonarhead: From Multiple Reflectors to Surfaces
This work presents an evolutionary approach to pinna design. Narrowband echolocating bats move the pinna to alter the directional sensitivity of their perceptual systems. Adding pinnae to RoBat--a biomimetic sonarhead mounted on a mobile robot--is the goal of this work. After a description of the earlier work on artificial pinnae consisting of multiple reflectors around the transducer, an acous...
متن کاملFrom Natural to Arti cial Life Biomimetic Mechanisms in Animat Designs
This paper describes several models that incorporate some biomimetic mechanisms into the control architecture of an animat that has to survive in a changing environment The adaptive capacities of these mechanisms are compared to engineering solutions in applica tion domains that involve navigation action selection and evolutionary design It is argued that although impressive adaptive capacities...
متن کاملTowards an Agent-Based Foundation of Financial Econometrics: An Approach Based on Genetic-Programming Artificial Markets
Using a few nonlinear econometric tools, this paper examines some time-series properties of GP-based arti cial markets. We nd that GP-based arti cial markets are able to replicate several stylized features well documented in nancial econometrics. In particular, the time series generated by the GPbased arti cial markets are consistent with the e cient market hypothesis in the linear sense. Furth...
