Bio-inspired Slowness for Robotic Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Slowness in robotic systems is a quality that is typically undervalued. It is our contention that as slowness has utility in animal behavior in certain species that it may also provide useful qualities for robotic implementations in appropriate circumstances. In particular we study mammalian behavior as evidenced in the tree sloth and slow Loris as the basis for the behaviors of a robot capable of residing in an arboreal ecological niche, as might be found in certain jungle surveillance applications or agricultural tasks. This concept is explored in the anticipation of the development and deployment of such a robot in the near future.
