Biomimetic sonar for biomimetic SLAM Universiteit Antwerpen
We present a biomimetic sonar system consisting of a single emitter and two receivers endowed with realistic spatial filter characteristics by inserting them in plastic replicas of bat pinnae. The outputs of these receivers are processed by a simple functional model of the processing performed in the cochlea. We show that these cochleograms contain sufficient amounts of information for the robust localization of a robot in unmodified office ...
