Abstract

The ability of an autonomous robot to avoid collisions depends on distance estimates. In this paper, we focus on open-loop responses of the identified directional-selective H1-cell in the fly brain, recorded in animals that are mounted on a 2-wheeled robot. During oscillatory forward movement along a wall clad with a pattern of vertical stripes on one side of the robot, the H1-cell periodically increases and decreases its spike rate, where the response amplitude depends on two parameters: (i) the turning radius of the robot, and (ii) the distance between the wall and the mean forward trajectory of the robot. For small turning radii, we found a monotonic relationship between the H1-cell’s spike rate and wall distance. Our results suggest that, given a known turning radius, the responses of the H1-cell could be used in a negative feedback-loop to control the average forward trajectory of an autonomous robot that avoids collisions with potential obstacles in its environment.
