Outline of Final Research Achievements

The subject of this research is the investigations for understating the mating behavior of the crickets by integrated approach with the robotics and neurophysiology.
In this research, we developed an interaction system in the same scale with the cricket by utilizing a mobile robot that can realize the pheromone and the song presentation. By the pheromone interaction experiments with developed robot's behavior algorithm, the understanding to the mating behavior of the cricket was deepened. Sound source localization behavior was also observed by the experiments with the devices that can play recorded calling song arbitrary. The changes of the biogenic amine in the cricket's brain by pheromone stimuli and its homeostatic characteristics were investigated. W also investigated how the biogenic amines in the crickets' s brain respond to the calling song of the crickets.
