Abstract

This paper describes the realization of a biologically-based vision system for autonomous mobile robots. This system presents two main aspects: a multi-modal vision (fovea and peripheral vision) coupled with a collision avoidance algorithm. We have carried out all the simulations of this system and realized several prototyping boards. The prototyping on FPGA architectures will lead to the development of a specialized circuit (ASIC) to be part of the control structure of a mobile autonomous flying robot
