Honey bees use optical flow to avoid obstacles
effectively. In this research work similar methodology was
tested on a simulated mobile robot. Simulation framework was
based on VRML and Simulink in a 3D world. Optical flow
vectors were calculated from a video scene captured by a
virtual camera which was used as inputs to a fuzzy logic
controller. Fuzzy logic controller decided the locomotion of the
robot. Different fuzzy logic rules were evaluated. The robot
was able to navigate through complex static and dynamic
environments effectively, avoiding obstacles on its path
