We have created a brain-machine hybrid system (BMHS) which is able to solve the chemical plume tracing (CPT) problem using a micro brain of a male silkworm moth. The purpose of the system is to investigate adaptability which is derived from interactions between the micro brain, body, and environment. The BMHS is a kind of cyborg system in which the body of a living being is replaced with a mobile robot and its brain is used to control the robot. The artificial body is controlled by motor commands for the original body that are extracted from a signal recorded in the brain. For that purpose, a small measurement system to record the signals was created and a method to reconstruct the motor commands from the signals was established. 25th RSJ Best Paper Award in 2011.
