Abstract
Chemical Plume Tracing(CPT), locating the distant odor source in a turbulent environment, has been studied for robotic odor source search. However, solving CPT problem is not easy because structure of plume in the air is complicated. Therefore we focus on the behavior of silkworm moth. Silkworm moth, bombyx mori, is one of the insects that have the ability to solve CPT problem. To measure their CPT algorithm, we propose the behavior observation untethered system, 3-DOF servosphere and it can enable us observe silkworm's natural behavior. We also developed simultaneous estimation system of stimuli input. In this study, we can analyze interaction between CPT algorithm and stimuli input.
