Birds, bats and many insects can tuck their wings against their bodies when at rest and deploy them to power flight. Whereas birds and bats use well-developed pectoral and wing muscles, how insects control their wing deployment and retraction remains...
Dung beetles can effectively transport dung pallets of various sizes in any direction across uneven terrain. While this impressive ability can inspire new locomotion and object transportation solutions in multilegged (insect-like) robots, to date, mo...

Plant health monitoring is crucial in ensuring a constant food supply to satisfy the growing demand for food. Hence, it is essential to monitor plant health to maximize the yield and minimize the risk of various diseases. Soil moisture and temperatur...
Western corn rootworm (WCR) is one of the most devastating corn rootworm species in North America because of its ability to cause severe production loss and grain quality damage. To control the loss, it is important to identify the infection of WCR a...
Increased global production of sorghum has the potential to meet many of the demands of a growing human population. Developing automation technologies for field scouting is crucial for long-term and low-cost production. Since 2013, sugarcane aphid (S...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has seen a crucial outburst for both females and males worldwide. Automatic lung infection detection from medical imaging modalities provides high potential for increasing the treatment for patients to tackle COVID...

Millions of years of evolution have allowed animals to develop unusual locomotion capabilities. A striking example is the legless-jumping of click beetles and trap-jaw ants, which jump more than 10 times their body length. Their delicate musculoskele...
In this study, fault diagnosis method of bearing utilizing gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) and multi-beetles antennae search algorithm (MBASA)-based kernel extreme learning machine (KELM) is presented. In the proposed method, feature extractio...
While most insect-inspired robots come with a simple tarsus, such as a hemispherical foot tip, insect legs have complex tarsal structures and claws, which enable them to walk on complex terrain. Their sharp claws can smoothly attach and detach on pla...
