设计了一种用于训练动物机器人的新型无损试验平台.该平台可用于分析外部电刺激与动物运动行为之间的关系,为进一步研究动物行为的可控性、动物机器人训练的可行性提供了一种便捷的试验平台和试验手段,同时也为生物医学、人工智能和认知科学的研究提供了新的研究思路.该试验平台主要包括两部分,即动物所背负的基于单片机控制的无线遥控多功能电刺激器和基于数字摄像机的动物运动行为分析测控系统.用此平台对家兔和新西兰兔进行了体表刺激,对成年雄性SD大鼠进行了开颅MFB区刺激试验,验证了本系统的有效性和稳定性.试验证明本系统可以精确、实时地用于动物行为试验,具有很好的抗干扰性.
This paper presents a new scatheless platform for training remote-controlled animal robots, which can be used to an- alyze the relation between electrical stimulation and animal behavior. It will not only provide a convenient tester and method to research the controllability of animal behavior and the possibility of training animal robot, but also a new way for biomedical, artificial intelligence and cognitive science researches. This platform consists of two parts, a multi-chan- nel remote-controlled stimulator backed by animal, and a computer vision based animal behavior tracking system. Some stimulation to rabbits' body and SD rats' brain were performed with the platform, which proved that it had good validity and stability. The experimental results showed that the platform can be used in animal behaviors experiments accurately and realtimelly even under interference condition.
