This paper describes our trials of active interactions to the crickets by a micro mobile robot for attracting pheromone behaviors. Cricket Gyllus bimaculatus modifies its own behavior based on the experiences based on the pheromone interactions between the individuals. For active interaction experiments, the micro mobile robot is maneuvered by an operator via the computer and the partial body of the cricket is attached to the robot. In this report, we describe interaction experimental results between the cricket and micro mobile robot with the pheromone. The cricket shows different response to the male or female pheromone, respectively. The result shows this approach could contribute to the biology as a novel one from the viewpoint of setting up the experimental conditions of the interactions actively.
