Project
The insect like creature (based on the leaphy robot) has a set of functionalities that together allow it to effectively find, and feed or oviposit on targets that provides electricity as a reward. Learning strategies to improve succes rate can be implemented. Sexual signaling, event prediction, mating behaviour, genetic exchange and evolution are in principle possible but are currently still (far) out of scope.
Sensory physiology and "milieu interieur"
- Sensory inputs
- Mechanoreceptor - sensing of obstacles
- Micro switch based tactile hairs.
- Development status: Not yet implemented
- Mechanoreceptor - sensing of obstacles
- Ultrasound - Distance sensing of obstacles
- Ultrasonic pulses detect obstacles and can trigger reflex avoidance behaviour
- Development status: Operational
- Ultrasound - Distance sensing of obstacles
- Better directional responses would be possible with more than one US sensor.
- This would need a dedicated embedded processor.
- Status: Not yet implemented
- Sensing light intensity
- Two LDR photoreceptors measure front-left light level and front-right light level
- Total ambient light intensity is available as an analog voltage
- The difference between the inputs is also available, and signals what side to turn to, to approach or avoid the light.
- Development status: Operational
- Sensing light intensity
