Title
Integrating high-level sensor features via STDP for bio-inspired navigation
Abstract
Correlation based algorithms have been found to explain many basic behaviors in simple animals. In this paper we investigate the problem of navigation control of a robot from the viewpoint of bio-inspired perception. In this paper we study how to go up, through learning, from the implementation of a reactive system, towards behaviors of increasing complexity. The whole control system is based on networks of spiking neurons. A correlation based rule, namely the Spike Timing Dependent Plasticity (STDP), is implemented for an efficient learning. The main interesting consequence is that the system will be able to learn high-level sensor features, based on a set of basic reflexes, depending on some low-level sensor inputs. The whole methodology is presented through simulation results and also through its implementation on an FPGA based system for real time working on a roving robot.
