From reflex to planning: Multimodal versatile complex systems in biorobotics.Jean-Paul Banquet,Philippe Gaussier,Mathias Quoy &Arnaud Revel -2001 -Behavioral and Brain Sciences 24 (6):1051-1053.detailsAs models of living beings acting in a real world biorobots undergo an accelerated “philogenic” complexification. The first efficient robots performed simple animal behaviours (e.g., those of ants, crickets) and later on isolated elementary behaviours of complex beings. The increasing complexity of the tasks robots are dedicated to is matched by an increasing complexity and versatility of the architectures now supporting conditioning or even elementary planning.
Learning and control with chaos: From biology to robotics.Mathias Quoy,Jean-Paul Banquet &Emmanuel Daucé -2001 -Behavioral and Brain Sciences 24 (5):824-825.detailsAfter critical appraisal of mathematical and biological characteristics of the model, we discuss how a classical hippocampal neural network expresses functions similar to those of the chaotic model, and then present an alternative stimulus-driven chaotic random recurrent neural network (RRNN) that learns patterns as well as sequences, and controls the navigation of a mobile robot.
