According to past experiments, big-eared bats use leaves as acoustic mirrors to hunt silent insects. The theory stated that ...
A new study from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute used a robot to mimic common big-eared bats' echolocation skills ...
About five years ago, a bizarre idea occurred to me. At the time, I was designing complex electronic circuits to mimic a small portion of an insect brain. These circuits would be created on a tiny ...
While much insight has been gleaned from how grasshoppers hop, their gliding prowess has mostly been overlooked. Now researchers at Princeton University have studied how these gangly insects deploy ...
An organic synapse array enables night vision and pattern recognition in insect robots by detecting near-infrared light and triggering real-time motor responses. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Insect-scale ...
