Robotic odor localization has become a prominent research area in recent years. It promises
many valuable practical applications, and contributes to the knowledge of biological odor …

Lobsters are capable of tracking turbulent plumes to their sources faster than can be
accomplished by estimating a spatial gradient from time-averaging the concentration signal …

Olfactory orientation poses many challenges for crustaceans in marine environments.
Recent behavioral experiments lead to a new understanding of the role of multiple sensory …

We explored the utility of odor-gated rheotaxis (OGR) with a biomimetic robot. OGR is a
widely accepted biological plume-tracing strategy that uses mean flow and chemical …

A simple reactive robot is described which is capable of tracking a water vapor plume to its
source. The robot acts completely within the plume and is endowed with no deliberate …

This report describes the results of a multidisciplinary study of turbulent chemical plume
tracking of blue crabs and autonomous agents. The study consists of a coordinated …

Localising an odour source is of considerable importance in real-world applications. A
modified particle swarm optimisation (PSO) algorithm was presented in this study as an …

The localization of resources in a natural environment is a multifaceted problem faced by
both invertebrate animals and autonomous robots. At a first approximation, locomotion …

The techno-scientific framework known as biomimicry 'reverse-engineers' animal life to
develop technologies and tactics that solve social and environmental problems. Its …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the use of robots to understand the animal
behavior. A fundamental difference of robotic implementations from computer simulations of …
