Batesian mimicry is a canonical example of evolution by natural selection, popularized by highly colorful species resembling unrelated models with astonishing precision. However, Batesian mimicry could also occur in inconspicuous species and rely on ...
Lateral undulation is the most widespread mode of terrestrial vertebrate limbless locomotion, in which posteriorly propagating horizontal waves press against environmental asperities (e.g. grass, rocks) and generate propulsive reaction forces. We hyp...
Automated snake image identification is important from different points of view, most importantly, snake bite management. Auto-identification of snake images might help the avoidance of venomous snakes and also providing better treatment for patients...
PURPOSE: Ventricular segmentation is of great importance for the heart condition monitoring. However, manual segmentation is time-consuming, cumbersome, and subjective. Many segmentation methods perform poorly due to the complex structure and uncerta...
Limbless locomotors, from microscopic worms to macroscopic snakes, traverse complex, heterogeneous natural environments typically using undulatory body wave propagation. Theoretical and robophysical models typically emphasize body kinematics and acti...
The process of image fusion is the process of enriching an image and improving the image's quality, so as to facilitate the subsequent image processing and analysis. With the increasing importance of image fusion technology, the fusion of infrared an...

Snakebite poses a significant health threat in numerous tropical and subtropical nations, with around 5.4 million cases reported annually, which results in 1.8-2.7 million instances of envenomation, underscoring its critical impact on public health. ...
Soft robots spark a revolution in human-machine interaction. However, developing high-performance soft actuators remains challenging due to trade-offs among output force, driving distance, control precision, safety, and compliance. Here, addressing t...
The threat of snakebites to public health, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions, requires effective mitigation strategies to avoid human-snake interactions. With the development of an IoT-based smart snake-trapping device, an innovative n...
