Random Pulse Stimulation of Bio-Robots to Improve Exploration Efficiency

Since 2012, researchers at North Carolina State University (NCSU) have fixed "electronic backpacks" on Madagascar's snorkeling (Madagascan hissing cockroaches), called "semi- robots " (or biological robots), to study The post-disaster search and rescue and exploration work in unknown areas, this research on biological robots has been going on for several years, and North Carolina State University seems to have made new progress. They found that random pulse stimulation will enable bio-romatic robots to explore. The most efficient area is unknown.

The electronic backpack controls the movement of these cockroaches because they are connected to the tail of the insect, which is the sensory organ that is commonly used to detect the abdomen touching something. Under the action of the electronic stimulus tail, the dragonfly can crawl in a certain direction. In fact, they are looking for sound sources under program control.

First, the research team analyzed the motion accuracy of the 蟑螂 robot by comparing the actual motion trajectory with the programmed signal data sent and recorded by the electronic backpack, and found that the two are in good agreement. And once again, the experiment found through experiments that how to make the robots explore an unknown region more efficiently, but found that the efficiency of the unknown robots explored by the pre-programmed pulse signal stimulation algorithm is not as good as using random pulse signals. Stimulating efficiency.

Alper Bozkult, assistant professor of electronics and computer engineering at North Carolina State University, said: "Early research showed that we can use neural simulation to control sputum from one point to another, but later studies showed random pulse simulation. It allows 蟑螂 to explore unknown areas more efficiently, because this pattern can be combined with the natural walking pattern of sputum breathing."
