Escape and surveillance asymmetries in locusts exposed to a Guinea fowl-mimicking robot predator.

Scientific reports Oct 9, 2017
Escape and surveillance responses to predators are lateralized in several vertebrate species. However, little is known on the laterality of escapes and predator surveillance in arthropods. In this study, we investigated the lateralization of escape a...

Predictive control of intersegmental tarsal movements in an insect.

Journal of computational neuroscience Apr 22, 2017
In many animals intersegmental reflexes are important for postural and movement control but are still poorly undesrtood. Mathematical methods can be used to model the responses to stimulation, and thus go beyond a simple description of responses to s...

Improved system identification using artificial neural networks and analysis of individual differences in responses of an identified neuron.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society Dec 9, 2015
Mathematical modelling is used routinely to understand the coding properties and dynamics of responses of neurons and neural networks. Here we analyse the effectiveness of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) as a modelling tool for motor neuron respons...

A locust-inspired miniature jumping robot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Nov 25, 2015
Unmanned ground vehicles are mostly wheeled, tracked, or legged. These locomotion mechanisms have a limited ability to traverse rough terrain and obstacles that are higher than the robot's center of mass. In order to improve the mobility of small rob...
