Aerial insects exhibit agile maneuvers such as sharp braking, saccades, and body flips under disturbances; in contrast, insect-scale aerial robots are limited to tracking smooth trajectories with small acceleration. To achieve similar flight capabili...
Estimating time of death based on entomological evidence commonly relies on the "law of total effective temperature", which requires developmental parameters of specific insect taxa. These are often calculated using the method of Ikemoto and Takai. H...
With the fast growth in the population of the world, there is a constantly increasing requirement for sustainable food supplies. Agriculture is the backbone of the global food supply, with vegetables and fruits being essential for a balanced intake. ...
Shifts in insect distributions have been reported globally, largely attributed to climate and landscape changes. Communities are being reshaped, with species response traits mediating the effects of changing environments. Using a machine-learning app...
Agriculture 5.0 is a principal economic activity in the world with major workforce dependent crops cultivation. An automated system for crops field insect pest identification can help decrease labour, while also improving the speed and precision in c...
Cocoa is a multi-billion-dollar industry but research on improving yields through pollination remains limited. New embedded hardware and AI-based data analysis is advancing information on cocoa flower visitors, their identity and implications for yie...
In nature, the dynamic contraction and relaxation of muscle in animals provide the essential force and deformation necessary for diverse locomotion, enabling them to navigate and overcome environmental challenges. However, most autonomous robotic sys...
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...
