Abstract / Description of output

We describe the first robot designed to emulate specific perceptual and motor capabilities of the fiddler crab. An omnidirectional robot platform uses onboard computation to process images from a 360 degrees camera view, Filtering it through a biological model of the crab's ommatidia layout, extracting potential `predator' cues, and executing an evasion response that also depends on contextual information. We show that, as for real crabs, multiple cues are needed for effective escape in different predator-prey scenarios.
