Abstract

Desert ant (Cataglyphis) is famous for its ability in navigation. In a desert with very few visual and odor information, the ant can return it's den almost along a straight line after foraging away in a distance of much more than thousands of times of it's body length. Two main mechanisms compose Cataglyphis's navigational toolbox: path integration and visual navigation. Path integration is achieved by using sky light compass based on polarized light and odometer, while visual navigation relies on landmark based memory and matching. In this paper, a survey of research work on desert ant navigation is presented, as well as the application of these navigation mechanism of desert ant to robots' navigation, especially bionic robots cruising in strange environment.
沙漠蚂蚁导航研究
沙漠蚁(Cataglyphis)以其导航能力而闻名。在一个几乎没有视觉和气味信息的沙漠中,蚂蚁可以在超过其身体长度数千倍的距离上觅食后,几乎沿着一条直线返回巢穴。Cataglyphis的导航工具箱有两个主要机制:路径集成和视觉导航。路径整合采用基于偏光和里程计的天光罗盘实现,视觉导航采用基于地标的记忆和匹配实现。本文综述了沙漠蚂蚁导航的研究工作,以及沙漠蚂蚁的导航机制在机器人导航中的应用,特别是在陌生环境中巡航的仿生机器人。
