Perception for Action in Insects

Abstract

We review the concept of ‘perception for action’, contrasting the traditional view of perception as internal representation with the idea of transformation in a closed loop system. This introduces recent approaches using active perception, dynamical systems theory, action-based agent architectures and consideration of the role of predictive loops. We then apply these ideas to insect behaviour and neurophysiology, with particular attention to higher brain centres. We propose an insect brain control architecture for robotics.
