Minimalistic optic flow sensors applied to indoor and outdoor visual guidance and odometry on a car-like robot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Here we present a novel bio-inspired optic flow (OF) sensor and its application to visual  guidance and odometry on a low-cost car-like robot called BioCarBot. The minimalistic OF sensor was robust to high-dynamic-range lighting conditions and to var...

Flying over uneven moving terrain based on optic-flow cues without any need for reference frames or accelerometers.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Two bio-inspired guidance principles involving no reference frame are presented here and were implemented in a rotorcraft, which was equipped with panoramic optic flow (OF) sensors but (as in flying insects) no accelerometer. To test these two guidan...
