CATransU-Net: Cross-attention TransU-Net for field rice pest detection.

PloS one
Accurate detection of rice pests in field is a key problem in field pest control. U-Net can effectively extract local image features, and Transformer is good at dealing with long-distance dependencies. A Cross-Attention TransU-Net (CATransU-Net) mode...

Acoustic monitoring for tropical insect conservation.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences
Monitoring the species-specific sounds produced by insects could provide us with a rapid, reliable, non-invasive measure of tropical ecosystem health and biodiversity. Although acoustic biodiversity monitoring has made rapid progress over the past de...

Encoding flexible gait strategies in stick insects through data-driven inverse reinforcement learning.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Stick insects exhibit remarkable adaptive walking capabilities across diverse environments; however, the mechanisms underlying their gait transitions remain poorly understood. Although reinforcement learning (RL) has been employed to generate insect-...

Sticking the landing: Insect-inspired strategies for safely landing flapping-wing aerial microrobots.

Science robotics
For flying insects, the transition from flight to surface locomotion requires effective touchdown maneuvers that allow stable landings on a variety of surfaces. Landing behaviors of insects are diverse, with some using more controlled flight approach...

A robust and omnidirectional-sensitive electronic antenna for tactile-induced perception.

Nature communications
Skin-like planar tactile sensors have achieved adaptive gripping, in-hand manipulation, and human-machine interaction but remain limited in tasks requiring active environmental interaction and robustness against large mechanical perturbations. Inspir...

Novel automation, artificial intelligence, and biomimetic engineering advancements for insect studies and management.

Current opinion in insect science
Entomology has seen remarkable advancements through the integration of robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and biomimetic engineering. These technological innovations are revolutionizing how scientists study insect behavior, ecology, and manageme...

Insect-inspired passive wing collision recovery in flapping wing microrobots.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Flying insects have developed two distinct adaptive strategies to minimize wing damage during collisions. One strategy includes an elastic joint at the leading edge, which is evident in wasps and beetles, while another strategy features an adaptive a...

I2Bot: an open-source tool for multi-modal and embodied simulation of insect navigation.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface
Achieving a comprehensive understanding of animal intelligence demands an integrative approach that acknowledges the interplay between an organism's brain, body and environment. Insects, despite their limited computational resources, demonstrate rema...

Acrobatics at the insect scale: A durable, precise, and agile micro-aerial robot.

Science robotics
Aerial insects are exceptionally agile and precise owing to their small size and fast neuromotor control. They perform impressive acrobatic maneuvers when evading predators, recovering from wind gust, or landing on moving objects. Flapping-wing propu...

Using AI to prevent the insect apocalypse: toward new environmental risk assessment procedures.

Current opinion in insect science
Insect populations are declining globally, with multiple potential drivers identified. However, experimental data are needed to understand their relative contributions. We highlight the sublethal effects of pesticides at field-relevant concentrations...
