Insects exhibit remarkable locomotor versatility underpinned by highly efficient neural control systems. Their ability to navigate complex terrains relies on the seamless integration of sensory inputs ...
A research article by scientists at the Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics developed a neural control algorithm to coordinate the adhesive toes and limbs of the climbing robot. The new ...
The Earth's oceans, covering over 70% of the planet's surface, represent a vast frontier for scientific discovery and resource utilization, yet remain ...
Elongated fish like eels and lampreys are remarkable movers. Eels demonstrate exceptional locomotor ability, not only when swimming but also crawling on uneven ground. They can even swim after the ...
Fruit flies walking on minature treadmills are helping scientists learn how the nervous system enables animals to move in an unpredictable and complex world. The researchers engineered these ...
Eels have a unique ability to move even after a spinal cord injury, a feat that has long puzzled scientists. An international research team led by Tohoku University has uncovered the secret behind ...
Immune cells have a surprising and critical role in controlling movement and bridging neural activity with metabolic demands, concludes a groundbreaking study published in Nature by researchers at the ...
Thanks to hype in the popular media, the term “automation” tends to conjure images of robots, artificial intelligence and the cloud in the minds of most people. The root of most manufacturing ...
Recent advances in brain imaging and stimulation techniques have transformed our ability to investigate the complex circuitries governing voluntary ...
State-of-the-art prosthetic limbs can help people with amputations achieve a natural walking gait, but they don't give the user full neural control over the limb. Instead, they rely on robotic sensors ...
