Biologically based behavior as inspiration for mobile robots navigations

Abstract

As an inspiration for robot behavior, it is possible to make analogies between behavior of biological organisms and robot models. Inspired by behavior of the bat, bee and dor, we designed reactive, sensor-based behavior for a mobile robot. In this paper, we will present the motor control results obtained through experiments, which confirm the effectiveness of the control based on behavior algorithm of living organisms. We demonstrate too, how the finite state machine approach may be applied in practical applications of biological based multi-robot teams.
