Abstract
Membrane computing is an interdisciplinary research field focused on new computational models, also known as P systems, inspired by the compartmental model of the cell and the membrane transport mechanisms. Numerical P systems are a type of P systems introduced by Gh. Păun in 2006 for possible applications in economics. Recently, an extension of numerical P systems, enzymatic numerical P systems, has been defined in the context of robot control. This paper presents a new approach to modeling and implementing autonomous mobile robot behaviors and proposes a new odometry module implemented with enzymatic numerical P systems for robot localization. The advantages of modeling robot behaviors with enzymatic membrane controllers and the experimental results obtained on real and simulated robots are also discussed.
