Experimental study on robotic interactions to the cricket

This paper describes about experimental verifications on the cricket´s response against frequent interactions and how it changes in time development. In order to investigate behavior modification, we took the approach to utilize automated interaction systems with a robotic agent and observe the reactions of the male cricket. The robotic agent robes cricket´s pheromone and is controlled by designing motion patterns based on visual motion tracking of the both agents. We designed an automated interaction behavior pattern for the robotic agent and conducted interaction experiments to the male cricket. We observed that cricket showed ordinary response firstly and after a while the trend of the cricket´s behavior changed. Thus, the response was somewhat modified in time development. In this paper, we explained experimental conditions and also showed the results of frequent interaction experiments by using a robotic agent.
