alexliberzonlab/mothpy: First release of mothpy - the moth-inspired navigator flying in pompy simulator

  • 1. Tel Aviv University

Description

Liberzon, Harrington, Daniel, Gurka, Harari and Zilman "Moth-inspired navigation algorithm in a turbulent odor plume from a pulsating source" proposed a novel navigator principle using properties of a turbulent patchy plume, https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article/comments?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0198422

In order to compare this moth-inspired navigator with other navigator types available in the literature, e.g. by Carde and co-workers, we use pompy https://github.com/InsectRobotics/pompy and add these moth-inspiried navigators to its simulation fields. We try to create mean wind with meandering and turbulence and vary odor release parameters to test various navigators' statistics, e.g. success rate, flight time, etc.

The main contributors are: @NoamBenelli and @alexlib

Note: we use an older version of pompy, included in the repository. In the future, we would be able to update to a newer version of pompy and implement it as a submodule.
