Navigating with an Adaptive Light Compass
- . One of the fundamental abilities required in autonomous mobile agents is the one of homing. Natural agents like ants solve this problem by mainly using dead-reckoning mechanisms within an egocentric frame of reference. Here we present a biologically inspired orientation mechanism, an adaptive ligh

Khep_xv An application tool for visualizing the sensory and internal state of the mobile robot Khepera.
- Khep_xv is a visualization tool that has been developed specifically to offer the user the right combination of sensory and internal state visualization capabilities in an intuitive, user-friendly package. It provides both a standard interface and a visualization library. Through the standard interf

Navigation in an Autonomous Flying Robot by Using a Biologically Inspired Visual Odometer
- While mobile robots and walking insects can use proprioceptive information (specialized receptors in the insect's leg, or wheel encoders in robots) to estimate distance traveled, flying agents have to rely mainly on visual cues. Experiments with bees provide evidence that flying insects might be usi

Extended Braitenberg Architectures
- In this paper we present an alternative approach for the problem of action selection in autonomous agents. The control acrhitecture used is a Braitenberg architecture extented in order to include action selection capabilities when more processes are involved 1 Introduction Our main goal is to build

Categorization in a Real-World Agent Using Haptic Exploration and Active Perception
- An agent in the real world has to be able to make distinctions between different types of objects, i.e. it must have the competence of categorization. In mobile agents categorization is hard to achieve because there is a large variation in proximal sensory stimulation originating from the same objec

Adaptive Classification in Autonomous Agents
- One of the fundamental tasks facing autonomous robots is to reduce the many degrees of freedom of the input space by some sorts of classification mechanism. The sensory stimulation caused by one and the same object, for instance, varies enormously depending on lighting conditions, distance from obje

Unsupervised Classification of Sensory-Motor states in a Real World Artifact Using a Temporal Kohonen Map
- Classification is a fundamental act of cognition. It underlies nearly all learning, transfer of learning, generalization and abstraction. One of the well-known hard and fundamental problems is the one of perceptual aliasing, i.e. that the sensory stimulation caused by one and the same object varies

Design Principles of Autonomous Agents: Zwischenbericht
- age was the identification of the sensory-motor coordination as an essential process for perception. This has been demonstrated with experiments in classification using a temporal Kohonen map (Lambrinos, Scheier, & Pfeifer, 1995). The agent had to distinguish between objects that had to be collected

A Neural Model of Landmark Navigation in Insects
- Central-place foragers like bees use landmark-based information in order to return to important locations. Experiments revealed that the insects store a "snapshot image" of the surroundings of the target location and derive a home direction by comparing current image and snapshot. A corresponding al

Insect 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
