"This book presents the result of a joint effort from different
European Institutions within the framework of the EU funded project
called SPARK II, devoted to device an insect brain computational
model, useful to be embedded into autonomous robotic agents.
"Part I reports the biological background on Drosophila
melanogaster with particular attention to the main centers which
are used as building blocks for the implementation of the insect
brain computational model.
Part II reports the mathematical approach to model the Central
Pattern Generator used for the gait generation in a six-legged
robot. Also the Reaction-diffusion principles in non-linear
lattices are exploited to develop a compact internal representation
of a dynamically changing environment for behavioral
planning.
In Part III a software/hardware framework, developed to integrate
the insect brain computational model in a simulated/real robotic
platform, is illustrated. The different robots used for the
experiments are also described. Moreover the problems related to
the vision system were addressed proposing robust solutions for
object identification and feature extraction.
Part IV includes the relevant scenarios used in the experiments to
test the capabilities of the insect brain-inspired architecture
taking as comparison the biological case. Experimental results are
finally reported, whose multimedia can be found in the SPARK II web
page: "www.spark2.diees.unict.it
