Robotic odor source localization has been a challenging area and one to which biological knowledge has been expected to contribute, as finding odor sources is an essential task for organism survival. Insects are well-studied organisms with regard to ...
In this study, we developed a novel unfixed-type experimental system that we call a '3-DOF servosphere.' This system comprises one sphere and three omniwheels that support the sphere. The measurement method is very simple. An experimental animal is p...
The use of mobile robots is an effective method of validating sensory-motor models of animals in a real environment. The well-identified insect sensory-motor systems have been the major targets for modeling. Furthermore, mobile robots implemented wit...
Sericulture is traditionally a labor-intensive rural-based industry. In modern contexts, the development of process automation faces new challenges related to quality and efficiency. During the silkworm farming life cycle, a common issue is represent...
Recently, insect-machine hybrid robots have been developed that incorporate insects into robots or incorporate machines into insects. Most previous studies were motivated to use the function of insects for robots, but this technology can also prove t...
Pebrine is the most dreaded infectious disease of the silkworm and has devastated sericulture in Europe during the 18th century. Thereafter, if it is detected, the crop is burned to prevent further dissemination. The conventional microscopic examinat...
Odor-source localization, by which one finds the source of an odor by detecting the odor itself, is an important ability to possess in order to search for leaking gases, explosives, and disaster survivors. Although many animals possess this ability, ...
The excessive application and loss of pesticides poses a great risk to the ecosystem, and the environmental safety assessment of pesticides is time-consuming and expensive using traditional animal toxicity tests. In this work, a pesticide acute toxic...
(Nb) has been considered a dangerous pathogen, which can spread rapidly through free spores. Nowadays, pebrine disease caused by Nb spores is a serious threat to silkworms, causing huge economic losses in both the silk industry and agriculture every...

This paper proposes a novel model updating strategy named SilkwormNet for the first time to address the sex discrimination problem of silkworm pupae with new species. SilkwormNet integrates a ResNet block, a multi-head attention mechanism, and a Sche...
