摘要
A simple reactive robot is described which is capable of tracking a water vapor plume to its source. The robot acts completely within the plume and is endowed with no deliberate information about wind direction or speed, yet accurately tracks the plume upstream. The robot's behavior, results from the behavior of simple resistive polymer sensors and their strategic placement on the robot's body.
