A systematic review is provided on artificial agent methodologies applicable to control
engineering of autonomous vehicles and robots. The paper focuses on some fundamentals …

Motion perception is an essential ability for animals and artificially intelligent systems
interacting effectively, safely with surrounding objects and environments. Biological visual …

This paper presents a novel control strategy, which we call optiPilot, for autonomous flight in
the vicinity of obstacles. Most existing autopilots rely on a complete 6-degree-of-freedom …

Neurobiological and neuroethological findings on insects can be used to design and
construct small robots controlling their navigation on the basis of bio-inspired visual …

In our project on the autonomous guidance of Micro-Air Vehicles (MAVs) in confined indoor
and outdoor environments, we have developed a vision based autopilot, with which a …

We have designed and built a simple optical sensor called Vibrating Optical Device for the
Kontrol of Autonomous robots (VODKA), that was inspired by the “tremor” eye movements …

Considerable attention has been paid during the past decade to navigation systems based
on the use of visual optic flow cues. Optic flow‐‐based visuomotor control systems have …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the use of robots to understand the animal
behavior. A fundamental difference of robotic implementations from computer simulations of …

In view of the behavioral findings published on bees during the last two decades, it was
proposed to decipher the principles underlying bees' autopilot system, focusing in particular …

Insects and birds have been in the sensory-motor control business for more than 100 million
years. The manned aircraft developed over the last 100 years rely on a similar lift to that …
