The Making of the "Xian Soldiers"
This paper describes the making of a short film on the Xian terra-cotta soldiers using our integrated HUMANOID software. The method of creating and animating the soldiers' faces is first presented. Then, we show how our approach based on metaballs and spline surfaces was used for designing and deforming soldiers' bodies. For the animation of the bodies, we describe the motion control methods. C...

متن کاملRapid Decision-Making with Side-Specific Perceptual Discrimination in Ants
BACKGROUND Timely decision making is crucial for survival and reproduction. Organisms often face a speed-accuracy trade-off, as fully informed, accurate decisions require time-consuming gathering and treatment of information. Optimal strategies for decision-making should therefore vary depending on the context. In mammals, there is mounting evidence that multiple systems of perceptual discrimin...
متن کاملSeasonality in communication and collective decision-making in ants.
The ability of animals to adjust their behaviour according to seasonal changes in their ecology is crucial for their fitness. Eusocial insects display strong collective behavioural seasonality, yet the mechanisms underlying such changes are poorly understood. We show that nest preference by emigrating Temnothorax albipennis ant colonies is influenced by a season-specific modulatory pheromone th...
متن کاملAnts work harder during consensus decision-making in small groups.
Individuals derive many benefits from being social, one of which is improved accuracy of decision-making, the so-called 'wisdom of the crowds' effect. This advantage arises because larger groups can pool information from more individuals. At present, limited empirical data indicate that larger groups outperform smaller ones during consensus decision-making in human and non-human animals. Inaccu...
