Abstract
We had been developing new experimental equipment which is based on robotics technology. We named this equipment as ANTAM (ANT Activates Machine). ANTAM is the ants-driven robot. However, previous system had some problems: measurement accuracy, mechanical durability and mobility. In this paper, we improved a camera-based motion capture system, and an omnidirectional treadmill system for ants. We also changed a driven-mechanism by using omnidirectional wheels. As a result of the experiment, the ANTAM has enough ability to measure the ant motion, but difficult to move same trajectory of ant with keeping same direction.
