Biologically Inspired Intelligent Robots

Robotics is a combination of electronics, mechanical, computers and instrumentation.Artificial intelligence is one of the most complicated tasks in robotics. Without considering the facts of electronics, mechanical, and instrumentation people are trying to make use of the optimal solutions from AI.
But unfortunately the solutions may not be the optimal in implementation in real time due to lack of co-ordination and leaving behind the nature’s make.

Traditional Artificial Intelligence:

 The traditional artificial intelligence which is followed by the world today is not producing 100% fruit full results and it is narrowing the thinking methodology of developing the artificial intelligence for a given particular task in real time environment. 
The traditional artificial intelligences calculates the position and controls a mobile robot by giving the directions using 2D calculations it will decided by taking feed back from electronic systems like COMPASS MODULE, GPRS, GPS, GIROSCOPE etc. which makes it more complex and costly. By using all such devices it makes the product much costlier.

How useful is biological inspiration

Colonies of social insects share many system-level characteristics we desire from collective robot systems: simple agents, decentralized control, robustness through mass effect, redundancy, flexibility and autonomy. The many rich examples of colony level collective behavior provided by biologists provide a wealth of data with which to inspire and to provide an underpinning for initial robotic designs. Although useful as a starting point in MRS design, biological inspiration has its limits and engineering models can and should be improved from their biomimetic beginnings.

Bio-inspired Robotics- Introduction:

Our approach is characterized with a strong inclination for biological inspiration in which examples in nature — social insects in particular — are used as a way of designing strategies for controlling mobile robots. This approach has been successfully applied to the study of task, namely, Ant’s algorithms used in computer networks for routing data between Routers. 
This phenomenon found in ants to derive the necessary behaviors for accomplishing this task. We study a species of ant known to possess this capability. 

Bio inspiration from a cockroach:

We designed the robot by observing the insect behavior of cockroach; the basic function of cockroach is scavenger duty in kitchen at night. Our designed robot works on the intelligence of cockroach.
The robot performs its cleaning tasks when we go to bed at night and it cleans its environment randomly like a cockroach searches for its food and if we switch ON any light it follows back to its home just by identifying the wall nearest to it and follow the wall till it reaches a hole, similarly intelligence is applied in our robot. The robot does not use any HI-FI systems, complex algorithm and internal navigation system but the bio inspired intelligence of cockroach and the task is completed at minimum cost.
