Summary:
This paper describes about the trials of on-line trajectory tacking and recording for a cricket and a micro mobile robot based on particle filter from video sequence. Cricket show adaptive behavior after individual interactions and we attempt to construct a system for active interaction experiment for gathering the data related to the effect of interactions. In this manuscript, on-line tracking trials by using an applied particle filter during some interaction experiments with a micro mobile robot are done. Experimental results are shown and also discussed.
