Insect-controlled Robot: A Mobile Robot Platform to Evaluate the Odor-tracking Capability of an Insect.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE Dec 19, 2016
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 ...

A novel method for full locomotion compensation of an untethered walking insect.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Dec 6, 2016
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...

Effects of mutations on the structure and function of silkworm type 1 acetylcholinesterase.

Pesticide biochemistry and physiology Nov 10, 2015
AChE is the target of organophosphate (OP) and carbamate (CB) pesticides, and mutations in the gene can significantly reduce insects' sensitivity to these pesticides. Bombyx mori is highly sensitive to pesticides. To investigate the effects of mutati...
