urban perception is the result of mutual transaction between human and environment and the process of perception is developed through the three continuous steps of “sensation”, “perception” and “cognition”. in the first step (sensorial perception), the environmental signals are received via sensorial sensors and each different sense based on its own essence, performance and ability has its own ...

This paper deals with an absolute localization paradigm based on the cooperation of an omnidirectional vision system and a low cost panoramic range finder system. These two perception systems used independently by our laboratory provide some complementary data. This association permits us to build a robust sensorial model which integrates an important number of significant primitives. The obtai...

UNLABELLED The cerebellum, traditionally conceived as a controlling organ of motricity, it is today considered an all-important integration center for both sensitivity and coordination of the various phases of the cognitive process. AIM This paper aims at gather and sort literature information on the cerebellums role in the auditory perception. METHODS We have selected animal studies of bot...

This paper presents a system of absolute localization based on the cooperation of a stereoscopic omnidirectional vision system and a dead-reckoning system. To do it we use an original perception system which allows our omnidirectional vision sensor SYCLOP to move along a rail. The first part of our study will deal with the problem of building the sensorial model with the help of the two stereos...

This paper presents a system of absolute localization based on the stereoscopic omnidirectional vision. To do it we use an original perception system which allows our omnidirectional vision sensor SYCLOP to move along a rail. The first part of our study will deal with the problem of building the sensorial model with the help of the two stereoscopic omnidirectional images. To solve this problem ...

A mobile robot requires the perception of its local environment for position estimation. Traditional planning methodologies build plans by considering the obstacles position in the environment, and assume that the sensorial system is able to localize the robot. Not all sensorial systems are able to maintain the robot accurately localized at each instant and require a perception planning process...

Gleaning insectivorous bats that forage by using echolocation within dense forest vegetation face the sensorial challenge of acoustic masking effects. Active perception of silent and motionless prey in acoustically cluttered environments by echolocation alone has thus been regarded impossible. The gleaning insectivorous bat Micronycteris microtis however, forages in dense understory vegetation ...

1.1 Introduction Relevant progress has been done, within the Robotics field, in mechanical systems, actuators, control and planning. This fact, allows a wide application of industrial robots, where manipulator arms, Cartesian robots, etc., widely outcomes human capacity. However, the achievement of a robust and reliable autonomous mobile robot, with ability to evolve and accomplish general task...

The nature of the light is today well understood, especially through quantum theory. Through the long time of life evolution on the Earth, the light developed the sensorial retina. Sensitivity of sensorial retina is in the level of thresholds of several photon quanta only. Perception of space is determined with physical nature of light and at the same time with physiological perception of eye. ...
