A bio-inspired robot navigation model based on the environmental cognitive mechanism of the rat brain hippocampus

Self-positioning and goal-oriented navigation behaviors in complex and variable environments are important capabilities that mammals rely on for survival in the natural world. To this end, this article proposes a robot navigation model with bioinspired environmental cognition and autonomous localization capabilities based on the spatial cognitive mechanism of the hippocampus in the rat brain. The model constructs a cognitive map by integrating its own motion cues and visual observation features, and uses the dynamic predictive relationship between each location cognitive node to achieve a goaloriented navigation process. The research approach in this article will provide inspirational implications for a robot navigation approach with brain-like cognitive mechanisms.
