NeuroBayesSLAM: Neurobiologically inspired Bayesian integration of multisensory information for robot navigation.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
Spatial navigation depends on the combination of multiple sensory cues from idiothetic and allothetic sources. The computational mechanisms of mammalian brains in integrating different sensory modalities under uncertainty for navigation is enlighteni...

Real-time sensory-motor integration of hippocampal place cell replay and prefrontal sequence learning in simulated and physical rat robots for novel path optimization.

Biological cybernetics
An open problem in the cognitive dimensions of navigation concerns how previous exploratory experience is reorganized in order to allow the creation of novel efficient navigation trajectories. This behavior is revealed in the "traveling salesrat prob...

Comparative analysis of computer-vision and BLE technology based indoor navigation systems for people with visual impairments.

International journal of health geographics
BACKGROUND: Considerable number of indoor navigation systems has been proposed to augment people with visual impairments (VI) about their surroundings. These systems leverage several technologies, such as computer-vision, Bluetooth low energy (BLE), ...

Spatial coordinate transforms linking the allocentric hippocampal and egocentric parietal primate brain systems for memory, action in space, and navigation.

Hippocampus
A theory and model of spatial coordinate transforms in the dorsal visual system through the parietal cortex that enable an interface via posterior cingulate and related retrosplenial cortex to allocentric spatial representations in the primate hippoc...

NeuroSLAM: a brain-inspired SLAM system for 3D environments.

Biological cybernetics
Roboticists have long drawn inspiration from nature to develop navigation and simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) systems such as RatSLAM. Animals such as birds and bats possess superlative navigation capabilities, robustly navigating over l...

Effects of a robot intervention on visuospatial hemineglect in postacute stroke patients: a randomized controlled trial.

Clinical rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of an intervention using the robot device PARO on visuospatial hemineglect and activities of daily living, and its acceptance during stroke rehabilitation. PARO is an interactive robotic toy with the appearance of a...

Convergent Temperature Representations in Artificial and Biological Neural Networks.

Neuron
Discoveries in biological neural networks (BNNs) shaped artificial neural networks (ANNs) and computational parallels between ANNs and BNNs have recently been discovered. However, it is unclear to what extent discoveries in ANNs can give insight into...

Fuzzy Logic Type-2 Based Wireless Indoor Localization System for Navigation of Visually Impaired People in Buildings.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The ability to precisely locate and navigate a partially impaired or a blind person within a building is increasingly important for a wide variety of public safety and localization services. In this paper, we explore indoor localization algorithms us...

Influence of New Technologies on Post-Stroke Rehabilitation: A Comparison of Armeo Spring to the Kinect System.

Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania)
BACKGROUND: New technologies to improve post-stroke rehabilitation outcomes are of great interest and have a positive impact on functional, motor, and cognitive recovery. Identifying the most effective rehabilitation intervention is a recognized prio...

Vision-Based Robot Navigation through Combining Unsupervised Learning and Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Extensive studies have shown that many animals' capability of forming spatial representations for self-localization, path planning, and navigation relies on the functionalities of place and head-direction (HD) cells in the hippocampus. Although there...
