Terrain prediction for an eight-legged robot
Most legged robotsmustnegotiateunknownenvironmentswith little orno terrainknowledge, as autonomous terrain mapping for robots is limited. A predictive terrain contour mapping strategy is proposed, which employs the use of a feed-forward neural network to predict the contours in environments, based on the positions of the neighboring legs. The predicted performance is better than previous implem...

متن کاملIntermittent exercise alters endurance in an eight-legged ectotherm.
Most animals move intermittently, yet many proposed performance limitations of terrestrial locomotion are based on steady-state measurements and assumptions. We examined the effect of work-rest transitions by exercising the ghost crab, Ocypode quadrata (28.1 +/- 8.1 g), intermittently on a treadmill at 0.30 m/s, a supramaximal speed [i.e., greater than the speed that elicits the maximal rate of...
متن کاملWoolly antics between the sheaths.
Hair is a potent cultural signal that when perceived as deficient can invite psychological trauma. Over the past few decades, researchers have successfully dissected several controls for hair follicle development and growth. However, we know relatively little about the genetic controls for hair fiber form and texture, despite wide variability in the expression of hair phenotypes among different...
