Abstract

Built from a need for modelling cognitive processes, a modular neural network is designed as the "brain" of a virtual robot moving in a prey-predator environment. The robot decides its path from the animals it identifies around. Both a parallel implementation of distributed processes and a temporal coding of spiking neurons allow the robot to de velop multimodal perception with attentional mechanisms and to react in real-time to its dynamic environment.
