Several methods can be used for a robot to return to a previously visited position. In our approach we use the average landmark vector method to calculate a homing vector which sho...
Gradient descent in image distances can lead a navigating agent to the goal location, but in environments with an anisotropic distribution of landmarks, gradient home vectors devia...
— Current approaches to the visual homing for mobile robot navigation are generally inspired in insects’ behavior and based on the observed angular information of fixed points...
Abstract The visual homing abilities of insects can be explained by the snapshot hypothesis. It asserts that an animal is guided to a previously visited location by comparing the c...
The neural representation of space in rats has inspired many navigation systems for robots. In particular, Self-Organizing (Feature) Maps (SOM) are often used to give a sense of lo...
