Cricket phonotaxis (sound localization behavior) was implemented on an autonomous outdoor robot platform inspired by cockroach locomotion. This required the integration of a novel robot morphology (Whegs) with a biologically based auditory processing circuit and neural control system, as well as interfacing this to a new tracking device and software architecture for running robot experiments. In repeated tests, the robot is shown to be capable of tracking towards a simulated male cricket song…

Testing a model of cricket phonotaxis on an outdoor robot platform

The work integrates a detailed neural model of auditory localisation in the cricket with a robot morphology that incorporates principles of six-legged locomotion and demonstrates that it can successfully track a cricket calling song over natural terrain.

New Ears for a Robot Cricket

This study shows that the new auditory input device provides the robot with realistic inputs, and, most behavioral features ascribed to previous neural models still hold for the new neural model.

Obstacle Avoidance Behavior for a Biologically-inspired Mobile Robot Using Binaural Ultrasonic Sensors

A binaural sensory pod using an ultrasonic emitter and two receivers on a mobile robot that employs legged-style locomotion allows the robot to successfully navigate a cluttered environment both semi-autonomously and autonomously.

Neural Processing of Auditory Signals and Modular Neural Control for Sound Tropism of Walking Machines

In analogy, a setup is described where two microphones and a neural preprocessing system together with a modular neural controller are used to generate a sound tropism of a four-legged walking machine.

A cricket-inspired Neural Network For FeedForward Compensation and Multisensory Integration

The aim is to predict the reafferent visual stimulus caused by phonotaxis, based on the efferent response, thus filtering out the optical disturbances induced by the phonotactic reflex, while still detecting any external noise.

A tiny directional sound sensor inspired by crickets designed for micro-air vehicles

Insects can accurately navigate and track sound sources in complex environments using efficient methods based on highly appropriate sensory-motor processing systems. It is proposed here to describe,…

Controlling underwater robots with electronic nervous systems

These studies indicate that it is feasible to fabricate an electronic nervous system controller integrating both aVLSI CPGs and layered DTM exteroceptive reflexes, and will illustrate aspects of controllers for ambulatory biomimetic robots.

Phonotactic walking paths of field crickets in closed-loop conditions and their simulation using a stochastic model

A stochastic model was used to simulate the behaviour of field cricket females localize one of many singing males in the field in closed-loop multi-source conditions and recaptured several qualitative and quantitative features of the observed phonotactic paths.

Integrating sensorimotor systems in a robot model of cricket behavior

The addition of an optomotor response is tested to the sound localizing behavior of a robot and it is shown that it can improve the directness of the robot's path to sound and substantially improves behavior when the robot is subject to a motor disturbance.

The function of auditory neurons in cricket phonotaxis

The activity of auditory receptor cells and prothoracic auditory neurons of the cricket was recorded intracellularly while the animal walked on a sphere or while passive movement was imposed on a foreleg to study the responses to auditory stimuli.

The function of auditory neurons in cricket phonotaxis

From the influences on turning tendency observed in these experiments, it appears that the paired AN1s (and possibly the AN2s at high intensities) may provide inputs to a central comparator that dictates turning tendency in phonotaxis.

A simple latency-dependent spiking-neuron model of cricket phonotaxis

A simple hypothesis regarding the recognition behaviour of crickets for conspecific songs is implemented in a dynamic simulation of spiking neurons and tested on a robot base and a number of properties can be observed in the neural circuit that correspond to cricket neurophysiology including apparent `recognition neurons'.

From insect vision to robot vision

The understanding of some invertebrate sensory-motor systems has now reached a level able to provide valuable design hints and this approach brings into prominence the mutual constraints in the designs of a sensory and a motor system, in both living and non-living ambulatory creatures.

Physical and Temporal Scaling Considerations in a Robot Model of Cricket Calling Song Preference

A robot model is made in which a simple neural controller is implemented that is less complex than the controllers traditionally hypothesized for cricket phonotaxis and syllable rate preference, and it is demonstrated to function, using songs with identical parameters to those found in real male cricket song.
