Abstract:
Toward homing pigeon (Columba Livia) inspired navigation technology, we first introduce behaviors of homing pigeons and analyze the behavioral experiments and mechanisms of map-and-compass navigation and visual-landmark navigation, respectively, in this paper, then describe the representative simulation and theoretical models of homing pigeons. Based on the homing behavior mechanism and position entropy theory, we propose a dynamic switching three-stage homing model, establishing a mapping relationship among the behaviors of map-and-compass navigation, leg length redirection, and mosaic map navigation and providing the simulation results of the proposed homing navigation model. Finally, based on the similarity between the homing behavior of homing pigeons and autonomous navigation of a UAV, we establish the mechanism mapping from the homing behavior model of homing pigeons to autonomous navigation of a UAV, and discuss the future research direction of navigation technology imitating the homing behavior of homing pigeons.
