Abstract :
This article shows that a robot can learn, through a trial-and-error learning process, how to entice a biological insect into moving closely along a given trajectory without human aid. The authors designed a robot that has a camera to recognize the insect and its heading angle, and then spread a specific odor source to attract the insect.
