Reliably navigating to a distant goal remains a major challenge in robotics. In contrast, animals such as rats and pigeons can perform goal-directed navigation with great reliability. Evidence from neural science and ethology suggests that various species represent the spatial space as a topological template, with which they can actively evaluate future navigation uncertainty and plan reliable/safe paths to distant goals. While topological navigation models have been deployed in mobile robots, relatively little inspiration has drawn upon biology in terms of topological mapping and active path planning. In this paper, we propose a novel bio-inspired topological navigation model, which consists of topological map construction, active path pla...
