Autonomous outdoor navigation requires reliable multisensory fusion strategies. Desert ants
travel widely every day, showing unrivaled navigation performance using only a few …

Desert ants use the polarization of skylight and a combination of stride and ventral optic flow
integration processes to track the nest and food positions when traveling, achieving …

With the advantages of anti-interference and no accumulated error, bionic polarization
heading measurement has important military significance and research value for …

Intelligence in current AI research is measured according to designer-assigned tasks that
lack any relevance for an agent itself. As such, tasks and their evaluation reveal a lot more …

Many insects such as desert ants, crickets, locusts, dung beetles, bees and monarch
butterflies have been found to extract their navigation cues from the regular pattern of the …

The performance of camera-based polarization sensors largely depends on the estimated
model parameters obtained through calibration. Limited by manufacturing processes, the …

In this paper we present a bionic multi-sensor anavigation and control system for unmanned
ground vehicles to complete the homing task. The system consists of the pixelated polarized …

Lots of evidence has indicated that many kinds of animals can achieve goal-oriented
navigation by spatial cognition and dead reckoning. The geomagnetic field (GF) is a …

This article studies the measurement error model and calibration method of the bio-inspired
polarization imaging orientation sensor (BPIOS), which has important engineering …
