AN EFFICIENT INSECT-INSPIRED APPROACH FOR VISUAL POINT-GOAL NAVIGATION
This paper introduces a novel insect-inspired AI agent for visual point-goal navigation, combining models of insect brain structures for associative learning and path integration. It demonstrates performance comparable to SOTA models with significantly less computational cost and shows robustness in a realistic simulated environment. The agent learns to navigate visually around obstacles without prior mapping, adapting and refining its path through online learning and selective memory consolidation.
Executive Impact
This insect-inspired AI agent offers a paradigm shift in autonomous navigation, providing robust performance with significantly reduced computational overhead, ideal for real-world enterprise deployment.

Case Study: Optimizing Delivery Robot Paths
A logistics company deployed robots for last-mile delivery. Initially, robots using traditional path planning struggled with dynamic obstacles, leading to frequent delays and collisions. Implementing an insect-inspired navigation system allowed robots to learn and adapt to new obstacles in real-time. This led to a 25% reduction in collision incidents and a 15% improvement in delivery efficiency within the first month. The system's low computational overhead also meant significant cost savings on hardware and energy.
