| Abstract(in English) | Insects can process visual signals efficiently with limited nervous networks of the small cephalon, and survive in the natural world. Their remarkable ability of visual signal processing can be good models of developing compact visual signal processing systems. In this study, we focused on their ability of collision avoidance, which requires instant processing, and developed a collision avoidance system inspired by insects. An electronic circuit model was designed to mimic the architecture of the locust visual nervous system, which responds selectively to colliding objects. Computer simulations showed that the model provided appropriate responses for collision avoidance. We implemented the model with a compact hardware system consisting of a resistive network and FPGA circuits. The system was tested in real-world situations by loading it on a motorized car, and was successful in responding selectively to colliding objects. |
