Abstract
To evaluate the capabilities of the insect brain model different roboticplatforms have been considered. The different blocks of the cognitive architecture,inspired by MBs and CX, can be used as control systems both for legged and wheeledrobots. This chapter reports the characteristics of the robotic platforms includinginformation on the mechanical structure, sensory system, software and hardware lowlevel control architecture. In particular the wheeled robot considered is the PioneerP3AT, a commercial platform for indoor and outdoor applications, suitably modifiedto host newsensors and control boards. Concerning legged and hybrid robots, a seriesof robots have been developed to exploit the insect brain main functions on differentplatforms.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
