✦ Synopsis

A scheme is presented that uses the self-motion of a robot, equipped with a single visual sensor, to navigate in a safe manner. The motion strategy used is modelled on the motion of insects that effectively have a single eye and must move in order to determine range. The essence of the strategy is to employ a zigzag motion in order to (a) estimate the range to objects and (b) know the safe distance of travel in the present direction. An example is presented of a laboratory robot moving in a cluttered environment. The results show that this motion strategy can be successfully employed in an autonomous robot to avoid collisions.

In the past decade, a large number of robots has been built that explicitly implement biological navigation behaviours. We review these biomimetic approaches using a framework that allows for a common description of biological and technical navigation behaviour. The review shows that biomimetic syst

A system for corridor following based on properties of the human visual system is presented. The robot extracts image features using an interest operator to compute sparse optical flow induced by the translatory motion of the robot. The available status information from the robot is used to compensa
