Implementation of Turing patterns for bio-inspired motion control

Abstract

In this paper a CNN controlling the reactive behavior of a roving robot by means of Turing patterns is introduced. The Turing pattern represents the fixed-action pattern of the robot, while the initial conditions of the CNN are given by the sensor status. The approach is still valid when the number of sensors is high, being able to perform data fusion in real-time through analog parallel processing. An experiment using a small roving robot is presented to validate the approach.
