Deep learning-assisted comparative analysis of animal trajectories with DeepHL.

Nature communications Oct 20, 2020
A comparative analysis of animal behavior (e.g., male vs. female groups) has been widely used to elucidate behavior specific to one group since pre-Darwinian times. However, big data generated by new sensing technologies, e.g., GPS, makes it difficul...

Insect-inspired jumping robots: challenges and solutions to jump stability.

Current opinion in insect science Sep 10, 2020
Some insects can jump to heights that are several times their body length. At smaller scales, jumping mechanisms are constrained by issues relating to scaling of power generation, which insects have resolved over the course of their evolution. These ...

Multi-legged steering and slipping with low DoF hexapod robots.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics May 19, 2020
Thanks to their sprawled posture and multi-legged support, stability is not as hard to achieve for hexapedal robots as it is for bipeds and quadrupeds. A key engineering challenge with hexapods has been to produce insect-like agility and maneuverabil...
