As the world's population gradually grows older, more and more adults are experiencing sensory-motor disabilities due to stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury and other diseases [...].
This manuscript describes neuromechanical modeling of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster in the form of a hexapod robot, Drosophibot, and an accompanying dynamic simulation. Drosophibot is a testbed for real-time dynamical neural controllers model...
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), equipped with a variety of sensors, are being used to provide actionable information to augment first responders' situational awareness in disaster areas for urban search and rescue (SaR) operations. However, existing...
