Brain-inspired systems

The Intelligent Sensors Laboratory investigates biomimetic sensing related to echolocation. Biosonars studied include bats, dolphins and blind humans. The lab implements ultrasonic and audible biomimetic sonars for acquiring data from environmental landmarks. Data are processed with brain-based and conventional artificial neural networks. Applications include autonomous mobile robot navigation.
