Remote guidance system for turtle and carp by controlling voluntary instinctive behavior

Abstract

Recently, several studies have been carried out on the direct control of behavior in insects and other lower animals in order to apply these behaviors to the performance of specialized tasks in an attempt to find more efficient means of carrying out these tasks than artificial intelligence agents. In this dissertation, we selected turtle and carp as the animal platform, and examined obstacle avoidance and escape behavior, which are one of the typical reactive behaviors, to control their moving path. Furthermore, we suggest novel remote guidance system that based on our research findings and also check operability and applicability of this suggested system through various tests. In the future, we expect that our technology will become an innovative framework for human-animal control systems.
