ONR Funds Development of Visually Guided Robotic 'Cat'

New design will achieve visually guided behavior in a CPU-less robot

In conjunction with researchers at Johns Hopkins, Iguana Robotics, Inc., is testing the hypothesis that a walking agent (machine or animal) can step over obstacles and walk in places with sparse footholds without using a geometric model of the world for planning. The approach is to construct a model based on existing physiological and behavioral data. The model will be hosted in a quadruped walking machine. The validity of the model is tested in a range of environments representing both natural environments as well as environments similar to those used during animal experimentation. Iguana will demonstrate that the model can be hosted in low-power, high performance neuromorphic hardware by transferring key elements into a hardware implementation.
