چکیده
A genetic algorithm was used to evolve bat-like pinna shapes for a biomimetic sonarhead. Pinnae model consisted of small re ectors placed around the transducer. Experiments with ten re ectors 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 کاملA Comparison of Methods for Estimating Doppler-shift Using Bat-inspired Cochlear Filterbank Models
Doppler-shifts are a rich source of information not exploited by commercial ultrasonic range sensors for robots. Bats use Doppler-shifts for several tasks such as obstacle avoidance and prey capture, hence our motivation for incorporating the use of Doppler to mobile robot navigation. In this work we compare two different cochlear filterbank models (linear and gamma-tone) together with two meth...
متن کاملDesign of a new narrow band channel drop filter based on photonic crystal ring resonator
In this design an optical ring resonator are embedded between two Horizontal input and output waveguides which has 4 orbitals around the center of the resonator so that each orbital consists of 8 rods with different size in which radius of larger orbitals rods are bigger than radius of smaller orbitals rods. The analysis of simulation results showed the proposed filter has the transmission effi...
متن کاملTowards a bionic bat: A biomimetic investigation of active sensing, Doppler-shift estimation, and ear morphology design for mobile robots
So-called CF-FM bats are highly mobile creatures who emit long calls in which much of the energy is concentrated in a single frequency. These bats face sensor interpretation problems very similar to those of mobile robots provided with ultrasonic sensors, while navigating in cluttered environments. This dissertation presents biologically inspired engineering on the use of narrowband Sonar in mo...
