Abstract: Nature offers a great source of inspiration to create robust systems that can assist humans to achieve different tasks. Neuromorphic engineering is an emerging field and when it comes to create a device that could assist a blind or a visually impaired human and also replace the traditional tools like white canes or guiding dogs, this can be really challenging. Even if insects are considered inferior species in comparation with vertebrates, they poses a visual system that colud be used in such an applications. An important condition for a person to move freely in an enviroment is to be able to detect any obstacle which may interfere with the trajectory of motion in order to avoid a possible collision with that obstacle. This article presents a possible implementation of a collision avoidance system inspired from the insects visual system with some specific modifications, in order to be useful for human applications in an real enviroment.
