Behavior Selection Mechanism of Two Typical Brain Movement Disorders Comparative Study Using Robot
Parkinsons disease and Huntingtons disease are two typical brain movement disorders, both of which have been studied extensively for decades. Dysfunctions in the basal ganglia-a group of subcortex nuclei in vertebrate brains-are generally considered to account for these two diseases. But what will happen if a robot gets Parkinsons disease or Huntingtons disease? Based on the concepts in behavior based robotics, this paper studied the behavior patterns of a real robot when it suffers such two diseases. The experiment results showed that the sick robot exhibited some symptoms of Parkinsons disease or Huntingtons disease to some extent. This study made explorations to mimic high level brain functions and casted light on designing more intelligent behavior selection methods in the future.
