Navigation Strategies referring to Insect Homing in Flying Robots

چکیده
Sensor-based navigation is one of the most important researches for mobile robots domain and then there are many research works for sensor-based navigation. We propose the insects inspired landmark navigation to pinpoint the target position in this paper. There exit several research works such as snapshot model and average landmark model which request the absolute bearing information (compass) and visual one. Whereas our method called relative angle model (RAM) need only visual information in order to extract relative positions of 3 landmarks. By simulation and experiment using 3-d blimp-type flying robot, we find that the pinpoint 3-D navigation works out well by RAM.

Insect-Inspired Visual Navigation for Flying Robots
This paper discusses the implementation of insect-inspired visual navigation strategies in flying robots, in particular focusing on the impact of changing height. We start by assessing the information available at different heights for visual homing in natural environments, comparing results from an open environment against one where trees and bushes are closer to the camera. We then test a rou...
متن کاملInsect Strategies of Visual Homing in Mobile Robots
Insects, such as desert ants, employ visual homing strategies for returning to important places in their environment. A model that reproduces aspects of the insects’ navigation behavior is the “snapshot model”. It is based on the assumption that insects store a visual snapshot of the surroundings at the target location, and derive a home direction from a comparison of the current image with thi...
متن کاملFlying Insects and Robots
Insects use memorised visual representations to find their way back to places of interest, like food sources and nests. They acquire these visual memories during systematic learning flights or walks on their first departure and update them whenever approaches to the goal have been difficult. The fact that small insects are so good at localisation tasks with apparent ease has attracted the atten...

Recent studies of insect visual behaviour and navigation reveal a number of elegant strategies that can be profitably applied to the design of autonomous robots. The peering behaviour of grasshoppers, for example, has inspired the design of new rangefinding systems. The centring response of bees flying through a tunnel has led to simple methods for navigating through corridors. Experimental inv...
متن کاملInsect Based Navigation and its Application to the Autonomous Control of Mobile Robots
Giving robots the ability to autonomously move around in various real-world environments has been a major goal of AI (artificial intelligence) for quite some time. To this end it is vital for robots to be able to perceive their surroundings in 3D; they must be able to estimate the range of obstacles in their path. Animals nav iga te th rough va r ious uncon t ro l l ed environments with seeming...
