Inspired by reliability-weighted multisensory integration and by a functional abstraction of persistence-based evidence consolidation in biological navigation, this paper proposes a bio-inspired reliability-constrained LiDAR\u2013inertial odometry framework. Each point-to-map observation is evaluated using residual consistency, local geometric quality, and voxel-level temporal stability. The fused reliability score regulates both the ESIKF state update and incremental map maintenance: low-confidence observations are continuously down-weighted, highly reliable points are admitted to the persistent map, ambiguous points are retained in short-term candidate memory for multi-frame verification, and unreliable points are rejected. The framework translates biological design principles into an engineering perception\u2013memory architecture rather than reproducing a specific neural circuit. Repeated experiments on public datasets and a wheeled mobile robot platform show comparable accuracy in two normal sequences. Across five dynamic sequences, the complete method reduces localization RMSE by 14.08\u201328.88% relative to Fast-LIO2 and achieves lower mean RMSE than Dynamic-LIO on all five evaluated dynamic sequences. Frozen-map evaluation further yields 7.77\u201315.71% lower point-to-map RMSE together with higher consistent-correspondence ratios and coverage, while the maximum mean RMSE deviation in the parameter-sensitivity study remains below 7.2%. The maximum measured processing time is 18.69 ms per scan, maintaining real-time operation for a 10 Hz LiDAR.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/biomimetics11090624","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,2]],"date-time":"2026-09-02T10:02:52Z","timestamp":1788343372000},"page":"624","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Bio-Inspired Perception\u2013Memory Coupling for Robust LiDAR\u2013Inertial Odometry in Dynamic Environments"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Bojia","family":"Hou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Instrument Science and Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin 150001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"conceptualization","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"methodology","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"software","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"validation","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"formal-analysis","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"investigation","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"resources","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"data-curation","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"writing-original-draft","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"visualization","vocabulary":"credit"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8854-5707","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fei","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Instrument Science and Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin 150001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"conceptualization","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"methodology","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"investigation","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"writing-review-editing","vocabulary":"credit"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6434-6412","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ya","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Instrument Science and Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin 150001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"conceptualization","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"methodology","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"investigation","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"resources","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"writing-review-editing","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"supervision","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"funding-acquisition","vocabulary":"credit"}]},{"given":"Baojin","family":"Ping","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Instrument Science and Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin 150001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"conceptualization","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"investigation","vocabulary":"credit"}]},{"given":"Zhaoxu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Instrument Science and Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin 150001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"conceptualization","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"investigation","vocabulary":"credit"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"146","DOI":"10.1038\/nn.2983","article-title":"Neural correlates of reliability-based cue weighting during multisensory integration","volume":"15","author":"Fetsch","year":"2012","journal-title":"Nat.
