The celestial compass as a spare to traditional methods
Dupeyroux et al., 2017
Conclusion and perspectives• UV-index between 1 and 2; 42-secondacquisition time, to be reduced at 20s.
• Heading direction error from 0.3° underclear sky to 2.9° under worse weatherconditions, both with very low UVindex. Highly reliable celestial compass.
• Sensory modalities very similar to thoseof insects: robotic insect embodiment.
• Even under poor weather conditions,these results suggest interestingprecision to make the optical compasssuitable for field robotics as a sparesensor as it is unsensitive to magneticinterferences.
