Abstract :
A very compact circuit for the head direction cell system is presented, which acts as the neural velocity integrator. This is useful in the implementation of robotic spatial navigation systems in hardware. In addition, the use of the circuit as a central pattern generator is also demonstrated, whose silicon implementation is useful in robotic gait control.
