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.

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.
