To evaluate the capabilities of the insect brain model different robotic platforms have been considered. The different blocks of the cognitive architecture, inspired by MBs and CX, can be used as control systems both for legged and wheeled robots. This chapter reports the characteristics of the robotic platforms including information on the mechanical structure, sensory system, software and hardware low level control architecture. In particular the wheeled robot considered is the Pioneer P3AT, a commercial platform for indoor and outdoor applications, suitably modified to host new sensors and control boards. Concerning legged and hybrid robots, a series of robots have been developed to exploit the insect brain main functions on different platforms.

Abstract
To evaluate the capabilities of the insect brain model different robotic platforms have been considered. The different blocks of the cognitive architecture, inspired by MBs and CX, can be used as control systems both for legged and wheeled robots. This chapter reports the characteristics of the robotic platforms including information on the mechanical structure, sensory system, software and hardware low level control architecture. In particular the wheeled robot considered is the Pioneer P3AT, a commercial platform for indoor and outdoor applications, suitably modified to host new sensors and control boards. Concerning legged and hybrid robots, a series of robots have been developed to exploit the insect brain main functions on different platforms.Pubblicazioni consigliate
