Study Notes
Local Guidance: Search, Beaconing, and Visual Homing
-
The lecture covers three types of local guidance: search, beaconing, and visual homing.
-
Search is used when there is an absence of guidance cues, unpredictable distribution of targets, or when exploring an area thoroughly.
-
Brownian motion and Levy flights are two search strategies that are observed in nature and used by animals, including bees and sharks, to search for resources.
-
Spiral search is a hybrid strategy used by robots without a map of the environment to perform exhaustive search.
-
Beaconing or taxis is directed movement towards an observable cue.
-
Reactive control, such as Braitenberg's Vehicle 2b, can be used for beaconing by positive or negative contralateral or ipsilateral connections.
-
Visual homing is used to move or be aimed towards an imperceptible target with great accuracy.
-
Nico Tinbergen showed in the 1950s that wasps approach their hidden nests using surrounding visual cues, which inspired many homing models for bees, ants, hummingbirds, rats, and robots.
-
The concept of visual homing assumes that visual features will only be perceived at a given position in the visual field from a single location in the environment and the change in position of visual features is predictable across locations.
-
Two methods for visual homing are the average landmark vector (ALV) and image difference functions (IDF).
-
ALV and IDF methods have benefits and limitations, such as good for sparse environments, reducing the correspondence problem, or good for complex environments with no need to detect/match features.
-
Long-range line-of-sight provides long-distance guidance, short line-of-sight requires many memories, and final approach to a specific location requires automated piloting.Biorobotics: Methods and Applications
-
The text discusses the field of biorobotics and its applications in various industries.
-
The authors explore the use of landmarks in navigation, citing studies on honeybees and crickets.
-
They propose the use of the average landmark vector model for navigation without the need for snapshots.
-
The text also discusses adaptive homing, which involves robotic exploration tours.
-
The authors highlight the importance of place memory in crickets and how it can be modeled for robots.
-
The text mentions the use of robots in industrial settings, such as manufacturing and assembly lines.
-
The authors emphasize the need for robots to be able to adapt to changing environments and situations.
-
The text also touches on the use of robots in the medical field, such as in minimally invasive surgeries.
-
The authors discuss the importance of human-robot interaction and the need for robots to be able to communicate effectively with humans.
-
The text highlights the potential ethical implications of using robots in various industries, such as job displacement and privacy concerns.
-
The authors suggest that biorobotics has the potential to revolutionize industries and improve human lives.
-
The text concludes with references to various studies and articles on biorobotics.
