Abstract

Cyborg cockroaches exhibit significant application potential in post-disaster search and rescue scenarios due to their exceptional environmental adaptability and miniaturized size. However, most existing navigation schemes for such cyborgs heavily rely on prior information of known environments or require high-power consumption visual sensors for environmental perception, which severely restricts their practical application in unknown and complex environments. To break free from these limitations, this paper constructs a wall-following state recognition model based on the intrinsic biological motion characteristics of cockroaches, and verifies the model's capability to effectively discriminate the wall-following state of cockroaches through experimental data. On this basis, a Wall-Following based Bio-inspired Mapping (WFBIM) method for unknown environment exploration is proposed. Without the need for visual sensors or environmental prior information, this method can efficiently and accurately complete the exploration and mapping task of unknown indoor environments.
