To improve the perception ability of indoor mobile robots, the classification method for the commonly structured corridor-scenes, Spiking Neural Network (SNN) and NeuCube, which is a novel computing model based on SNN, were studied. SNN can convey spatio-temporal information by spikes. Besides, SNN is more suitable for analyzing dynamic and time-series data, and for recognizing data of various patterns than traditional Neural Network (NN). It is easy to be implemented by hardware. The principle, learning methods and calculation steps of NeuCube were discussed. Then seven common corridor scenes were recognized by the classification method based on multi-sonar-sensor information and NeuCube. The experimental results show that the proposed method is effective. Additionally, it is helpful for improving autonomy and intelligence of mobile robots.
