Since many years insects have been considered as a source of inspiration for robotic architectures. From this point of view the fly Drosophila melanogaster is more than likely a protagonist , because of the genetic techniques that allow neurobiologists to make deep studies and hypotheses about the brain of this fly. In this work a computational model of the Drosophila has been tested and implemented on a robot simulator. Moreover, the normal capabilities of the fly have been extended in order to have an useful robot-oriented model. Results about a possible application in a real-life scenario of the whole model of the Drosophila brain are reported.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
