The ‘Brains on Board’ project is a collaboration between several British universities in partnership with the Human Brain Project and seeks to ‘translate’ the brains of ants and bees into algorithms that a machine will understand. Its aim is …
NeuroSLAM: Neural Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Workshop
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (or SLAM) refers to the problem of constructing a map of an unknown environment as it is actively being explored. SLAM has been treated extensively in mobile robotics, providing …
Reliability and accuracy of navigation in flying drones are one of the key challenges that must be solved in autonomous applications. Accurate knowledge of position, attitude, and velocity is a critical input for drones operating in cluttered and challenging environments …
A report titled ‘Flying Taxis Take Flight, Presage New Location Intelligence‘ by Frits van der Schaaf.
…Location intelligence has long been used to present real-time information on maps—for transportation companies’ tracking of shipments; utility companies’ monitoring the status
J. Dupeyroux et al. 2019 presents a navigation system inspired by desert ants’ navigation behavior, which requires precise and robust sensory modalities.
They tested several ant-inspired solutions to outdoor homing navigation problems on a legged robot using two optical sensors …
The DeepMind opens the code of grid cells (Banino et al 2018) via GitHub(https://github.com/deepmind/grid-cells) in Jan. 2019. This package provides an implementation of the supervised learning experiments in Vector-based navigation using grid-like representations in artificial agents, as published …
The latest research Kreiser et al. 2018, published IROS 2018, investigated the use of ultra low-power, mixed signal analog/digital neuromorphic hardware for implementation of biologically inspired neuronal path integration and map formation for a mobile robot.
