Results in brief

Brain-inspired technologies for intelligent navigation and mobility

When sensory information is uncertain or surprising, autonomous machines often fail, with sometimes fatal consequences. By contrast, humans and animals can adapt to sensory uncertainty or surprises, at least when they are healthy and/or sensorily unimpaired. Therefore, the goal of iNavigate is to infer the principles of surprise-based navigation from biological systems, specifically, humans, rodents, and fish, and to translate these principles into algorithms that can be implemented and tested in mobile robots and bionic devices, thereby providing novel technological solutions for autonomous robotic mobility. To achieve this goal, academic and non-academic partners consisting of behavioral scientists, neuroscientists, computer scientists, and roboticists, residing in the EU/AC and the USA, conducted joint research on intelligent navigation. We conclude that it is possible to infer the principles of navigation from biological systems and that computer algorithms can simulate aspects of these, with different degrees of accuracy for different conditions.

Project objective

iNavigate, a Marie-Curie Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE) consortium, brings together scientists and engineers in academic, private and NGO enterprises. Its goal is to promote international and intersectoral cooperation for the next generation, brain-inspired technologies to facilitate the development of intelligent navigation and autonomous mobility solutions. The consortium exploits the complementary competencies of its members while creating synergy through research, innovation, staff exchange and transfer of knowledge. It actively promotes networking, knowledge utilization and dissemination through summer schools, workshops, conferences, and facilitates new skill acquisition and career development in research, innovation and commercialization.
