    SMOOTH Robot: Design for a Novel Modular Welfare Robot

    Demographic change is expected to challenge many societies in the next few decades if todays’ standards of services in e.g. elder care shall be maintained. Robots are considered to at least partially mitigate ...

    A neuroplasticity-inspired neural circuit for acoustic navigation with obstacle avoidance that learns smooth motion paths

    Acoustic spatial navigation for mobile robots is relevant in the absence of reliable visual information about the target that must be localised. Reactive robot navigation in such goal-directed phonotaxis task...

    Towards Crossmodal Learning for Smooth Multimodal Attention Orientation

    Orienting attention towards another person of interest is a fundamental social behaviour prevalent in human-human interaction and crucial in human-robot interaction. This orientation behaviour is often governe...

    A Neural Circuit for Acoustic Navigation Combining Heterosynaptic and Non-synaptic Plasticity That Learns Stable Trajectories

    Reactive spatial robot navigation in goal-directed tasks such as phonotaxis requires generating consistent and stable trajectories towards an acoustic target while avoiding obstacles. High-level goal-directed ...

    From “ear” to there: a review of biorobotic models of auditory processing in lizards

    The peripheral auditory system of lizards has been extensively studied, because of its remarkable directionality. In this paper, we review the research that has been performed on this system using a biorobotic...

    An Adaptive Neural Mechanism with a Lizard Ear Model for Binaural Acoustic Tracking

    Acoustic tracking of a moving sound source is relevant in many domains including robotic phonotaxis and human-robot interaction. Typical approaches rely on processing time-difference-of-arrival cues obtained v...

    Modifying Directionality through Auditory System Scaling in a Robotic Lizard

    The peripheral auditory system of a lizard is strongly directional. This directionality is created by acoustical coupling of the two eardrums and is strongly dependent on characteristics of the middle ear, suc...

    A Braitenberg Lizard: Continuous Phonotaxis with a Lizard Ear Model

    The peripheral auditory system of a lizard is structured as a pressure difference receiver with strong broadband directional sensitivity. Previous work has demonstrated that this system can be implemented as a...

    Morphology Independent Learning in Modular Robots

    Hand-coding locomotion controllers for modular robots is difficult due to their polymorphic nature. Instead, we propose to use a simple and distributed reinforcement learning strategy. ATRON modules with ident...
