Beetle-robot hybrid interaction: sex, lateralization and mating experience modulate behavioural responses to robotic cues in the larger grain borer Prostephanus truncatus (Horn).

Biological cybernetics Jul 31, 2020
Ethorobotics, a new fascinating field of biorobotics, proposes the use of robotic replicas as an advanced method for investigating animal behaviour. This novel research approach can also encourage the development of advanced bioinspired robots. In th...

Extremely large sweep amplitude enables high wing loading in giant hovering insects.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Sep 13, 2019
Beetle Allomyrina dichotoma is one of the largest insects that performs many remarkable modes of locomotion, particularly hovering flight capability. In order to stay airborne, its flexible hindwings are flapped so as to work as a thrust generator. H...

Comprehensive analysis of efficient swimming using articulated legs fringed with flexible appendages inspired by a water beetle.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Sep 6, 2019
Drag-based swimming is usually accompanied with the shape change of rowing appendages to generate asymmetric force during the power stroke and recovery stroke. To implement this in an aquatic robot, one may actively control the surface area of its le...

Feedback Control-Based Navigation of a Flying Insect-Machine Hybrid Robot.

Soft robotics May 3, 2018
This study reports the first ever demonstration of the aero navigation of a free-flying insect based on feedback control. Instead of imitating the complicated kinetics and mechanisms of insect locomotion, a live insect can be directly transformed int...

Design of hair-like appendages and comparative analysis on their coordination toward steady and efficient swimming.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics May 22, 2017
The locomotion of water beetles has been widely studied in biology owing to their remarkable swimming skills. Inspired by the oar-like legs of water beetles, designing a robot that swims under the principle of drag-powered propulsion can lead to high...

Experimental and numerical studies of beetle-inspired flapping wing in hovering flight.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics May 17, 2017
In this paper, we measure unsteady forces and visualize 3D vortices around a beetle-like flapping wing model in hovering flight by experiment and numerical simulation. The measurement of unsteady forces and flow patterns around the wing were conducte...

Innovative Bayesian and parsimony phylogeny of dung beetles (coleoptera, scarabaeidae, scarabaeinae) enhanced by ontology-based partitioning of morphological characters.

PloS one Mar 17, 2015
Scarabaeine dung beetles are the dominant dung feeding group of insects and are widely used as model organisms in conservation, ecology and developmental biology. Due to the conflicts among 13 recently published phylogenies dealing with the higher-le...

Integrating Deep Learning Derived Morphological Traits and Molecular Data for Total-Evidence Phylogenetics: Lessons from Digitized Collections.

Systematic biology Jun 12, 2025
Deep learning has previously shown success in automatically generating morphological traits that carry a phylogenetic signal. In this paper, we explore combining molecular data with deep learning derived morphological traits from images of pinned ins...

Spines and Inclines: Bioinspired Spines on an Insect-Scale Robot Facilitate Locomotion on Rough and Inclined Terrain.

Integrative and comparative biology Nov 21, 2024
To navigate complex terrains, insects use diverse tarsal structures (adhesive pads, claws, spines) to reliably attach to and locomote across substrates. This includes surfaces of variable roughness and inclination, which often require reliable transi...
