Low-Cost Approaches in Neuroscience to Teach Machine Learning Using a Cockroach Model.
eNeuro
Dec 17, 2024
In an effort to increase access to neuroscience education in underserved communities, we created an educational program that utilizes a simple task to measure place preference of the cockroach () and the open-source free software, SLEAP Estimates Ani...
Cockroaches adjust body and appendages to traverse cluttered large obstacles.
The Journal of experimental biology
May 23, 2022
To traverse complex terrain, animals often transition between locomotor modes. It is well known that locomotor transitions can be induced by switching in neural control circuits or driven by a need to minimize metabolic energetic cost. Recent work re...
An insect-scale robot reveals the effects of different body dynamics regimes during open-loop running in feature-laden terrain.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Feb 3, 2022
The transition from the lab to natural environments is an archetypal challenge in robotics. While larger robots can manage complex limb-ground interactions using sensing and control, such strategies are difficult to implement on small platforms where...
Randomness in appendage coordination facilitates strenuous ground self-righting.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Oct 9, 2020
Randomness is common in biological and artificial systems, resulting either from stochasticity of the environment or noise in organisms or devices themselves. In locomotor control, randomness is typically considered a nuisance. For example, during dy...
Insect-machine hybrid robot.
Current opinion in insect science
Sep 28, 2020
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...
Localization of Biobotic Insects Using Low-Cost Inertial Measurement Units.
Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Aug 11, 2020
Disaster robotics is a growing field that is concerned with the design and development of robots for disaster response and disaster recovery. These robots assist first responders by performing tasks that are impractical or impossible for humans. Unfo...
Viscoelastic legs for open-loop control of gram-scale robots.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Jul 29, 2020
Gram-scale insects, such as cockroaches, take advantage of the mechanical properties of the musculoskeletal system to enable rapid and robust running. Engineering gram-scale robots, much like their biological counterparts, comes with inherent constra...
Information-based centralization of locomotion in animals and robots.
Nature communications
Aug 13, 2019
The centralization of locomotor control from weak and local coupling to strong and global is hard to assess outside of particular modeling frameworks. We developed an empirical, model-free measure of centralization that compares information between c...
In vitro electrochemical assessment of electrodes for neurostimulation in roach biobots.
PloS one
Oct 10, 2018
Biobotics investigates the use of live insects as biological robots whose locomotion can be controlled by neurostimulation through implanted electrodes. Inactivity in the biobots (biological robots) can sometimes be noticed following extended neurost...
Transition by head-on collision: mechanically mediated manoeuvres in cockroaches and small robots.
Journal of the Royal Society, Interface
Feb 14, 2018
Exceptional performance is often considered to be elegant and free of 'errors' or missteps. During the most extreme escape behaviours, neural control can approach or exceed its operating limits in response time and bandwidth. Here we show that small,...
