Abstract in brief

Bayesian filters can enhance our understanding of how cells help with self-localization, but adapting them to mimic insect navigation remains difficult.
The authors propose a new embodied neural controller for an insect-like robot (AMOS) that allows it to navigate, forage, and return home effectively using a combination of self-localization and joint coordination.
This innovative controller enables AMOS to exhibit advanced navigation behaviors, such as spiral searching patterns, even in noisy environments, without relying on external landmarks or complex cognitive maps.
