Abstract
Animals are able to cope with tasks adaptively despite unexpected situation while robots can perform in limited situations. Robot controlled by electromyogram enable us to investigate mechanisms of animal's adaptability, but we have to obtain the rule to convert electromyogram into actual behavior in real space to realize such robot. We construct experimental system which can measure both behavior of walking silkworm moth and electromyogram recorded from a leg of the silkworm moth simultaneously, in order to reveal that transformation rule. Leg movements were recorded by high-speed camera, and converted into relative angles observed by silkworm moth, using image processing of video of behavior.
