The sensors of our robot are the focus of this study. They use the antennae of a living silkworm moth in order to experiment with the use of natural stimuli, i.e. a sex pheromone. This wetware sensor can detect a pheromone at a higher level of sensitivity and is inexpensive as compared to conventional gas sensors.
Abstract: We have developed a pheromone-tracing robot, PheGMot-III, which is endowed with the silkworm moth's antennae as pheromone sensors.
In this section, we describe the improved small pheromone sensor mounted on the robot and we show its ability to detect pheromone stimuli. 2.1 EAG ( ...
