    A Proposal for a Bee-Inspired Visual Robot Navigation

    No full text
    A proposal of a visual navigation method inspired by insect behaviours is presented. Starting from bee visual system characteristics, a three-phase model is described and different methods and strategies to exploit these phases are presented. Some of them has been implemented and tested by computer simulations. The obtained results have proven the interest of this kind of biological approach

    International audienceFossil rifted margins, whereby originally extended continental crust is subsequently stacked in orogenic belts, provide the opportunity to track rift-related tectonics across different crustal levels. In this study, the tectonothermal evolution of the fossil Adriatic continental margin, sampled in the Italian Southern Alps, is investigated combining new (U-Th)/He zircon (ZHe) thermochronology from upper crustal rocks with existing data from the originally underlying lower crust, to shed light on the processes responsible for rift localization in the Alpine Tethys system. The Adriatic microplate records a protracted rift evolution, whereby distributed upper crustal stretching at 245-190 Ma was followed by rift localization along its future western edge, culminating in mantle exhumation at 165-160 Ma. A progressive westward younging of ZHe ages, from 280-240 Ma in the Lombardian Basin to 215-200 Ma near the Sostegno and Fenera Basins, indicates that anomalously high thermal gradients were established in the Late Triassic in the area where rifting later localized. The inferred episodic heating was contemporaneous with protracted fluid flow, minor magmatism, and ductile shearing within the originally underlying lower crust. Subsequent normal faulting was initiated post-185Ma, as constrained by exhumation-related ZHe ages in detrital zircons from a syntectonic sandstone. The spatial distribution of the detected heating-cooling cycle suggests that rift localization along the western edge of the Adriatic Plate was probably favored by a crustal-scale thermal anomaly, established at 215-210 Ma, followed by thermal decay by 200-190 Ma. Subsequent crust-wide extension, starting at 185-180 Ma, led to excision of continental crust and mantle exhumation
