This paper describes the development of the ant boarding type mobile robot. When the ant (Cataglyphis fortis) is changed their leg length when it is traveling for foraging, it search a nest before or past true position of nest. Thus, the ant is known as which counts a number of steps. This method is invasive and has an impact to ant. In this study, we develop a robot which driven by ant. The robot has rotation controlled sphere for keeping position of ant. An ant on the sphere is tracked by camera, the sphere is controlled by image processing. And, travel distance of ant reflect to driving wheels. As the result, the robot is controlled by ant.
