navigational aids. The landmarks are then scaled, from small to large, so that the robot 
can recognize whether it is getting closer to or further away from them. Their location is 
built into a map in its ‘mind’, which operates at different scales and instructs the robot 
whether to turn left or right at a particular mark. The technology provides a general way 
for a machine to navigate an unknown landscape.

For three decades, Professor Ruediger Wehner has journeyed from Switzerland to the 
Sahara desert where Catalyphis, a tiny ant with a brain weighing just 0.1 mg, performs 
acts of navigational genius when it leaves its nest, forages for food and returns 
successfully. Cataglyphis uses polarised light, caused when air molecules scatter light, to 
orient and steer itself. Wehner’s team found the ant has a set of specialized 
photoreceptors along the upper rim of its eyes that detect polarized light, while other 
receptors perform different navigational tasks. As the sun moves, the ant notes its 
direction each time it leaves the nest and updates its internal compass. Using other eye 
receptors it stores a 
‘snapshot’ image of landmarks, close to the nest entrance in its eyes 
and compares this with what it sees as it returns. The ant also has a way of measuring 
distance traveled, while a ‘path integrator’ periodically informs the ant of its current 
position relative to its point of departure. Rather than integrate all the information it 
receives in its brain, the ant actually performs a number of complex calculations in 
different organs. Like a supercomputer, the ant has many separate subroutines going on 
sim
ultaneously. Using the ant’s ability to steer by polarised light and to store and reuse 
landscape images, Wehner and colleagues have built ‘Sahabat’, a small vehicle that uses 
polarisers and a digital CCD camera to store 360o images of landmarks to the ones in its 
memory.
