Visual Inputs

When we reach toward objects, we easily avoid potential obstacles located in the workspace. Previous studies suggest that obstacle avoidance relies on mechanisms in the dorsal visual stream in the posterior parietal cortex. One fundamental question that remains unanswered is where the visual inputs to these dorsal-stream mechanisms are coming from. Here, we provide compelling evidence that these mechanisms can operate in “real-time” without direct input from primary visual cortex (V1). In our first experiment, we used a reaching task to demonstrate that an individual with a dense left visual field hemianopia after damage to V1 remained strikingly sensitive to the position of unseen static obstacles placed in his blind field. Importantly, in a second experiment, we showed that his sensitivity to the same obstacles in his blind field was abolished when a short 2-s delay (without vision) was introduced before reach onset. These findings have far-reaching implications, not only for our understanding of the time constraints under which different visual pathways operate, but also in relation to how these seemingly “primitive” subcortical visual pathways can control complex everyday behavior without recourse to conscious vision.

Environmental Requirements

The obstacle avoidance system is an important part of the intelligent inspection robot. According to the special environmental requirements for substation inspection robot, the inspection robot obstacle avoidance detection system was designed. The system takes MCU as the controller core, selects many sets of ultrasonic sensors to detect the obstacle information around the robot, designs the transmitting and receiving circuit of the ultrasonic signal, and completes the system software program. In consideration of the substations effect of EMI to the electronic equipments, when designing circuit, using a large of filter circuit, improve systems anti-interference performance, realize real-time and veracity of measurement. Using on substation shows that the system run steadily, have high measurement precision, its important for improving the robot using on substation.
