For the goal seeking strategy of organisms in nature with little information, we investigate a motion model based on signal intensities without location information. It utilizes a navigation network without location information, in which the habitats on land and birds are expressed as fixed anchors and unfixed sensors, respectively. The signal intensities of anchors and sensors are used as their relative distances. Through the experiment using tiny robots called Kilobots, the motion model is established and the bio-movement strategy under the model is investigated.
