Goal-directed behavior in most cases is composed of a sequential order of elementary motor
patterns shaped by sensorimotor contingencies. The sensory information acquired thus is …

In this paper, we present a new bio-inspired vision system embedded for micro-robots. The
vision system takes inspiration from locusts in detecting fast approaching objects …

Embodied intelligence is the computational approach to the design and understanding of
intelligent behavior in embodied and situated agents through the consideration of the strict …

Here we present the first systematic comparison between the visual guidance behaviour of a
biomimetic robot and those of honeybees flying in similar environments. We built a miniature …

Considerable attention has been paid during the past decade to navigation systems based
on the use of visual optic flow cues. Optic flow‐‐based visuomotor control systems have …

Autonomous landing on unknown extraterrestrial bodies requires fast, noise-resistant motion
processing to elicit appropriate steering commands. Flying insects excellently master visual …

This paper presents the mathematical development of a body-centric nonlinear dynamic
model of a quadrotor UAV that is suitable for the development of biologically inspired …

For use in autonomous micro air vehicles, visual sensors must not only be small, lightweight
and insensitive to light variations; on-board autopilots also require fast and accurate optical …

Cyborg insects have attracted great attention as the flight performance they have is
incomparable by micro aerial vehicles and play a critical role in supporting extensive …

In view of the behavioral findings published on bees during the last two decades, it was
proposed to decipher the principles underlying bees' autopilot system, focusing in particular …
