A bio-inspired sighted robot chases like a hoverfly.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Here we present a novel bio-inspired visual processing system, which enables a robot to locate and follow a target, using an artificial compound eye called CurvACE. This visual sensor actively scanned the environment at an imposed frequency (50 Hz) w...

Adult fly age estimations using cuticular hydrocarbons and Artificial Neural Networks in forensically important Calliphoridae species.

Forensic science international
Blowflies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) are forensically important as they are known to be one of the first to colonise human remains. The larval stage is typically used to assist a forensic entomologists with adult flies rarely used as they are difficult...

Reducing Catastrophic Forgetting With Associative Learning: A Lesson From Fruit Flies.

Neural computation
Catastrophic forgetting remains an outstanding challenge in continual learning. Recently, methods inspired by the brain, such as continual representation learning and memory replay, have been used to combat catastrophic forgetting. Associative learni...

Research Progress on Developmental Biology of Sarcosaprophagous Insects.

Fa yi xue za zhi
Forensic entomology provides a feasible way to estimate postmortem interval (PMI), of which the growth and development of sarcosaprophagous insects is the most widely used indicator in forensic practice. Over the years, forensic entomologists have ca...

Fruit fly scale robots can hover longer with flapping wings than with spinning wings.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface
Hovering flies generate exceptionally high lift, because their wings generate a stable leading edge vortex. Micro flying robots with a similar wing design can generate similar high lift by either flapping or spinning their wings. While it requires le...
