Bio-inspired Vision System for Obstacle Avoidance with Colias

Published on Jun 19, 2015


In this work, we present a new bio-inspired vision system for mobile micro-robots. The processing method takes inspiration from vision of locusts in detecting the fast approaching objects.
We employed the locusts' vision mechanism to motion control of a mobile robot.
The vision module is placed on top of Colias micro-robot to control its trajectory and to avoid obstacles.
