| summary | Flying insects are endowed with several sensory modalities, such as
those mediating taste, touch, olfaction, color vision as well as optic
flow. Robots equipped with a new autopilot based on just a couple of
local downward optic-flow measurements are able to control their course
without requiring a state vector describing their absolute speed and
altitude. By applying optic flow criteria, these robots manipulate
forces by the way of rotor speed and thus adjust their speed of flight,
and their altitude without any state vector. This optic flow based
steering control system makes them avoid obstacles even in unstable
environments without any need for maps. |
