Path integration is a widespread navigational strategy in which directional changes and
distance covered are continuously integrated on an outward journey, enabling a straight-line …

Performing efficient homing, ie, returning to a previously known place, is crucial for the
survival of any motile animal. Animals perform homing across different spatial scales and …

Solitary foraging insects, such as ants, maintain an estimate of the direction and distance to
their starting location as they move away from it, in a process known as path integration. This …

Walking animals, like insects, with little neural computing can effectively perform complex
behaviors. For example, they can walk around their environment, escape from …

Bayesian filters have been considered to help refine and develop theoretical views on
spatial cell functions for self-localization. However, extending a Bayesian filter to reproduce …

This paper introduces a novel neurophysiologically based mobile robot navigation system,
which emulates the dynamics of a rodent's navigation and spatial awareness cells found in …

Many animal species are able to return to their nest after a foraging excursion without using
familiar visual cues to guide them. They accomplish this by using a navigation competence …

This thesis presents a novel neurophysiological based navigation system which uses less
memory and power than other neurophysiological based systems, as well as traditional …

abstract This paper complements Ron Sun's influential Desiderata for Cognitive
Architectures by focussing on the desirable attributes of a biologically-inspired cognitive …
