Reverse and flick: Hybrid locomotion in bacteria.
M any bacteria are motile. They use one or more helical flagella as propellers, rotating them like the corkscrew on a wine bottle opener. Despite the limited morphological repertoire of the propulsive system, radically different movement strategies have evolved, likely reflecting the diversity of physicochemical conditions among bacterial habitats. In PNAS, Xie et al. (1) report on a newly disc...
متن کاملA Hybrid Locomotion Control Approach
A lot of different approaches for controlling locomotion in multipods already exist but most of them are focused on reflex[1] or Central Pattern Generator (CPG) control[2] only and do not take into account a flexible posture control. Therefore, an enhanced locomotion control concept to improve the flexibility of motion production is presented. This concept is based on experiences gained in the ...
متن کاملFlick-Induced Flips in Perception
Microsaccades are miniature eye movements produced involuntarily during visual fixation of stationary objects. Since their first description more than 40 years ago, the role of microsaccades in vision has been controversial. In this issue, Martinez-Conde and colleagues present a solution to the long-standing research problem connecting this basic oculomotor function to visual perception, by sho...
متن کاملHybrid Position/force Algorithms for Biped Locomotion
This paper addresses the problem of modelling and control of a biped robot by combining Cartesian-based position and force control algorithms. The complete walking cycle is divided in two phases: i) single support in which it is studied the trajectory controllability based on simple motion goals and ii) exchange of support in which the forward leg should absorb the impact and then gradually acc...
متن کاملLocomotion control of hybrid cockroach robots.
Natural systems retain significant advantages over engineered systems in many aspects, including size and versatility. In this research, we develop a hybrid robotic system using American (Periplaneta americana) and discoid (Blaberus discoidalis) cockroaches that uses the natural locomotion and robustness of the insect. A tethered control system was firstly characterized using American cockroach...
