© 2016 IEEE. A robot audio localization system is presented that combines the outputs of multiple adaptive filter models of the Cerebellum to calibrate a robot's audio map for various acoustic environments. The system is inspired by the MOdular Selec... Read More about Audio Localization for Robots Using Parallel Cerebellar Models.

The Whiskerbot project is a collaborative project between robotics engineers, computational neuroscientists and ethologists, aiming to build a biologically inspired robotic implementation of the rodent whisker sensory system. The morphology and mech... Read More about Whiskerbot: A robotic active touch system modeled on the rat whisker sensory system.

Implementing spiking neural networks for real-time signal-processing and control applications: A model-validated FPGA approach (2007)
Journal Article
Pearson, M., Pipe, A. G., Mitchinson, B., Gurney, K., Melhuish, C., Gilhespy, I., & Nibouche, M. (2007). Implementing spiking neural networks for real-time signal-processing and control applications: A model-validated FPGA approach. IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks, 18(5), 1472-1487. https://doi.org/10.1109/TNN.2007.891203

In this paper, we present two versions of a hardware processing architecture for modeling large networks of leaky-integrate-and-fire (LIF) neurons; the second version provides performance enhancing features relative to the first. Both versions of the... Read More about Implementing spiking neural networks for real-time signal-processing and control applications: A model-validated FPGA approach.

Fuzzy classifier system architectures for mobile robotics: An experimental comparison (2007)
Journal Article
Pipe, A. G., & Carse, B. (2007). Fuzzy classifier system architectures for mobile robotics: An experimental comparison. International Journal of Intelligent Systems, 22(9), 993-1019. https://doi.org/10.1002/int.20235

We present an experimental comparison between two approaches to optimization of the rules for a fuzzy controller. More specifically, the problem is autonomous acquisition of an "investigative" obstacle avoidance competency for a mobile robot. We repo...

Embryonics: A path to artificial life? (2006)
Journal Article
Zhang, X., Dragffy, G., & Pipe, A. G. (2006). Embryonics: A path to artificial life?. Artificial Life, 12(3), 313-332. https://doi.org/10.1162/artl.2006.12.3.313

Electronic systems, no matter how clever and intelligent they are, cannot yet demonstrate the reliability that biological systems can. Perhaps we can learn from these processes, which have developed through millions of years of evolution, in our purs... Read More about Embryonics: A path to artificial life?.

Empirically inspired simulated electro-mechanical model of the rat mystacial follicle-sinus complex (2004)
Journal Article
Mitchinson, B., Gurney, K. N., Redgrave, P., Melhuish, C., Pipe, A. G., Pearson, M., …Prescott, T. J. (2004). Empirically inspired simulated electro-mechanical model of the rat mystacial follicle-sinus complex. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 271(1556), 2509-2516. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2004.2882

In whiskered animals, activity is evoked in the primary sensory afferent cells (trigeminal nerve) by mechanical stimulation of the whiskers. In some cell populations this activity is correlated well with continuous stimulus parameters such as whisker...
