This review article aims to address common research questions in hexapod robotics. How
can we build intelligent autonomous hexapod robots that can exploit their biomechanics …

In this review, the research progress of bio-inspired polarized skylight navigation is
evaluated from the perspectives of theoretical basis, information detection, sensor design …

Stable and accurate heading angle estimation is challenging for low-cost small unmanned
aerial vehicle (UAV) navigation, especially in the presence of geomagnetic anomaly. In this …

Underwater navigation system is an indispensable part for autonomous underwater
vehicles. Due to the indiscernibility of satellite signal, however, the underwater navigation …

The polarization compass used for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) navigation is usually
hypothesized to be arranged horizontally in conventional heading measurement, which …

Local reactive behaviors endow animals the ability to exhibit agile and dexterous
performance when traversing challenging terrains. This paper presents a novel locomotion …

Insects use the sun's position (even when concealed) as a compass for navigation by
filtering celestial light intensity and polarisation through their compound eyes. To replicate …

Being able to probe the polarization states of light is crucial for applications from medical
diagnostics and intelligent recognition to information encryption and bio-inspired navigation …

We present MIM (Multi-Layer Intensity Map), a novel 3D object representation for robot
perception and autonomous navigation. MIMs consist of multiple stacked layers of 2D grid …

Insects such as honeybees are capable of fusing the information sensed by multiple sensory
organs for attitude and heading determination. In this paper, inspired by the sensory fusion …
