- Title
Visual Homing in Analog Hardware.
- Authors
Möller, Ralf
- Abstract
Insects of several species rely on visual landmarks for returning to important locations in their environment, The “average landmark vector model” is a parsimonious model which reproduces some aspects of the visual homing behavior of bees and ants, To gain insights in the structure and complexity of the neural apparatus that might underly the navigational capabilities of these animals, the average landmark vector model was implemented in analog hardware and used to control a mobile robot. The experiments demonstrate that the apparently complex task of visual homing might be realized by simple and mostly peripheral neural circuits in insect brains.
