A new method for self-supervised sensorimotor learning of sound source localization is presented, that allows a simulated listener to learn online an auditorimotor map from the experience provided by auditory evoked behavior. The represents space and used estimate azimuthal direction sources. mainly consists in non-linear dimensionality reduction data. Our results show can be learned, both real data, leads accurate estimations sources direction.
In a world of unknown, touch modality is key avenue for environments exploration. Implementation such in mobile robot has been major challenge many research teams. Recently, several artificial whisker systems have studied as promising tactile sensor. One to the whisker's functionality its sensor system. Our laboratory recently synthesized new electroactive polymer (EAP) actuator/sensor based on interpenetrated networks (IPN) host matrix and electrically conducting polymer. The first results...
In recent years, many studies on electroactive polymer (EAP) actuators have been reported. One promising technology is the elaboration of electronic conducting polymers based with Interpenetrating Polymer Networks (IPNs) architecture. Their advantageous properties as low working voltage, light weight and high lifetime (several million cycles) make them very attractive for various applications including robotics. Our laboratory recently synthesized new conducting IPN molecular Nitrile...
We endowed a whiskered robot with simple algorithm allowing to discriminate textures. Its efficiency and robustness have been demonstrated using both fixed head mobile platform. Comparatively previous similar approaches, this system affords greater behavioral capacities proves be able complement or supply vision in navigation tasks. The corresponding results suggest that the length number of whiskers involved play role texture discrimination. They also two hypotheses are currently considered...
Electroactive polymers, or EAPs, are polymers that exhibit a change in size shape when stimulated by an electric field. The most common applications of this type material actuators and sensors. One promising technology is the elaboration electronic conducting based with Interpenetrating Polymer Networks (IPNs) architecture. Their many advantageous properties as low working voltage, light weight high lifetime make them very attractive for various including robotics. Conducting IPNs were...
Various calculation processes emerged since the first mechanical realization of Pascaline in 1645, followed by microprocessor INTEL 1971. One multiple extensions is described this present article : « Bionics », born 1960, which extends to today"s Neuromorphic » concept.
This paper deals with the biomimetic design of a humanoid head prototype. prototype is developed in order to offer some mechanical device for multimodality objectives, and demonstrate importance uncoupled eyes mechanism function. Indeed, development based on our understanding humans properties filed visual vestibular capabilities. The final will have 3 DOF each eye 2 neck. as one dof neck able show ocular reflex (VOR) target tracking (TT) real time. To carry out all these capabilities,...
