Tese de doutoramento, Engenharia Informática, Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia, Universidade do Algarve, 2016 ; As technology and our understanding of the human brain evolve, the idea of creating robots that behave and learn like humans seems to get more and more attention. However, although that knowledge and computational power are constantly growing we still have much to learn to be able to create such machines. Nonetheless, that does not mean we cannot try to validate our knowledge by creating biologically inspired models to mimic some of our brain processes and use them for robotics applications. In this thesis several biologically inspired models for vision are presented: a keypoint descriptor based on cortical cell responses that allows to create binary codes which can be used to represent speci c image regions; and a stereo vision model based on cortical cell responses and visual saliency based on color, disparity and motion. Active vision is achieved by combining these vision modules with an attractor dynamics approach for head pan control. Although biologically inspired models are usually very heavy in terms of processing power, these models were designed to be lightweight so that they can be tested for real-time robot navigation, object recognition and vision steering. The developed vision modules were tested on a child-sized robot, which uses only visual information to navigate, to detect obstacles and to recognize objects in real time. The biologically inspired visual system is integrated with a cognitive architecture, which combines vision with short- and long-term memory for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). Motor control for navigation is also done using attractor dynamics.
