Stereo-olfaction with a sniffing neuromorphic robot using spiking neurons
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a neuromorphic robot using stereo-olfaction and a sniffing system based on nonselective chemosensors that mimic the animal behavior of tracking a specific odor. In order to be able to go toward an odor source, two tasks must be performed : 1) estimation of the gas-concentration gradient and 2) gas recognition independent of the intensity. It is shown how these two tasks can be implemented with artificial spiking neurons in a biologically inspired approach.

متن کاملA spiking neural network model of the locust antennal lobe : towards neuromorphic electronic noses inspired from insect olfaction
In analogy with the non-selectivity of gas sensors, an olfactory receptor neuron is not tuned to a specific odor and hence presents a lack of selectivity. Despite this shortcoming, insects have impressive abilities to recognize odors. Understanding how their olfactory system works could then be highly beneficial for designing efficient electronic noses. In particular, the antennal lobe, the fir...
