This is achieved partially by lateral inhibition in the retina which compensates for low/high light levels. Neural controllers which cause robots to turn away from or towards light tend to work in a limited range of light conditions. In real environments, the light conditions can vary greatly reducing the effectiveness of the robot. Our solution for a simple Braitenberg vehicle is to add a single inhibitory neuron which laterally inhibits the output to the robot motors. This solution has additionally reduced the computational complexity of our simple neuron allowing for a greater number of neurons to be simulated with a fixed set of resources.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">David Bowes</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lola Cañamero</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Roderick G Adams</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Volker Steuber</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Davey, Neil</style></author></authors><secondary-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lola Cañamero</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pierre-Yves Oudeyer</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Christian Balkenius</style></author></secondary-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Should I worry about my stressed pregnant robot?</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Proc. 9th International Conference on Epigenetic Robotics: Modeling Cognitive Development in Robotic Systems (EpiRob 2009)</style></secondary-title><tertiary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lund University Cognitive Studies</style></tertiary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11/2009</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.lucs.lu.se/LUCS/146/epirob09.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lund University</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Venice, Italy</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">146</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">203–204</style></pages><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">978-91-977-380-7-1</style></isbn><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">David Bowes</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Roderick G Adams</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lola Cañamero</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Volker Steuber</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Davey, Neil</style></author></authors><secondary-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Madani, K</style></author></secondary-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Receptor Response and Soma Leakiness in a Simulated Spiking Neural Controller for a Robot</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Proc. 4th International Workshop on Artificial Neural Networks and Intelligent Information Processing (ANNIIP 2008)</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">05/2008</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://uhra.herts.ac.uk/handle/2299/6832</style></url></web-urls></urls><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">INSTICC (Inst.

It also investigates two models of receptor response to stimulus levels. The results show that exponential decay of ions across the soma and of a receptor response function where intensity is proportional to intensity is the best combination for dark seeking behaviour.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
