Rodents are the most thoroughly understood animal with respect to both their mapping and navigation capabilities and the neuronal mechanisms by which they are achieved. However, of the few studies that have actually implemented a hippocampal model on a robot (Arleo 2000; Krichmar, Nitz et al. 2005), none have investigated the full extent to which the model can be used as a practical mapping and navigation system. This chapter presents the implementation and experimental testing of a classical model of the mapping and navigation processes in the rodent hippocampus.
