Simulation Environment for the Evaluation and Design of Reactive Obstacle Avoidance Algorithms in UAS Operating in Low Altitude Airspace
Since UAS operate in a complex and uncertain environment where information is obtained through non-ideal sensors, obstacle avoidance is critical in many missions. However, the performance of avoidance algorith...

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...

Reconstructing the Acoustic Signal of a Sound Source: What Did the Bat Say?
When attempting to model and understand bat biosonar behaviour, it would be very useful to know exactly what calls the bat emits, that is, what it really says, in the course of its exploration of the world. Ca...

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...

Characterisation of Multiple Patterns of Activity in Networks of Relaxation Oscillators with Inhibitory and Electrical Coupling
Fully-connected neural networks of non-linear half-center oscillators coupled both electrically and synaptically may exhibit a variety of modes of oscillation despite fixed topology and parameters. In suitable...

Modelling asymmetry in the peripheral auditory system of the lizard
The ears of lizards are highly directional. The directionality is generated by strong acoustical coupling of the eardrums. A simple lumped-parameter model of the ear followed by binaural comparisons has been s...
