Flying insect swarms
What to do next? First I decided I would not be fulfilled doing noninvasive behavioural experiments — I need to go into the brain to be happy. I could have chosen computational work but I am an experimentalist at heart. Having that decided, the question was then which species? Where and how was I going to set my new boundary, a personal and arbitrary line without scientific grounding? This proc...
متن کاملBiologically-Inspired Visual Simulation of Insect Swarms
Representing the majority of living animals, insects are the most ubiquitous biological organisms on Earth. Being able to simulate insect swarms could enhance visual realism of various graphical applications. However, the very complex nature of insect behaviors makes its simulation a challenging computational problem. To address this, we present a general biologically-inspired framework for vis...
متن کاملEmergent dynamics of laboratory insect swarms
Collective animal behaviour occurs at nearly every biological size scale, from single-celled organisms to the largest animals on earth. It has long been known that models with simple interaction rules can reproduce qualitative features of this complex behaviour. But determining whether these models accurately capture the biology requires data from real animals, which has historically been diffi...
متن کاملData-driven Noise Model for Simulating Swarms of Flying Insects
We present a model to generate noise-induced insect movements in a large swarm that are similar to those observed in real-world trajectories. Our approach is based on pre-recorded insect trajectories. After presenting a novel evaluation metric and a statistical validation approach that takes into account various characteristics insect motions, we evaluate well-known noise functions. Finally, we...
متن کاملHalteres for the Micromechanical Flying Insect
The mechanism which real flying insects use to detect body rotation has been simulated. The results show that an angular rate sensor can be made based on such a biological mechanism. Two types of biomimetic gyroscopes have been constructed using foils of stainless steel. The first device is connected directly to a compliant cantilever. The second device is placed on a mechanically amplifying fo...
