Interactive Perception: Closing the Gap Between Action and Perception
We introduce Interactive Perception as a new perceptual paradigm for autonomous robotics in unstructured environments. Interactive perception augments the process of perception with physical interactions, thus integrating robotics and computer vision. By integrating interactions into the perceptual process, it is possible to manipulate the environment so as to uncover information relevant for t...
متن کاملCauses of rarity in bumblebees
Many bumblebee (Bombus) species are thought to have declined in abundance in the last 50 years, while a small number of species remain abundant. Here we examine which factors render some British bumblebee species more susceptible to environmental change than others. We present forage data on workers of 15 bumblebee species gathered from 172 one hour searches conducted at sites in southern UK, t...
متن کاملFlower choice copying in bumblebees.
We tested a hypothesis originating with Darwin that bees outside the nest exhibit social learning in flower choices. Naive bumblebees, Bombus impatiens, were allowed to observe trained bees or artificial bees forage from orange or green flowers. Subsequently, observers of bees on green flowers landed more often on green flowers than non-observing controls or observers of models on orange flower...
متن کاملBumblebees Learn Polarization Patterns
Foraging insect pollinators such as bees must find and identify flowers in a complex visual environment. Bees use skylight polarization patterns for navigation, a capacity mediated by the polarization-sensitive dorsal rim area (DRA) of their eye. While other insects use polarization sensitivity to identify appropriate habitats, oviposition sites, and food sources, to date no nonnavigational fun...
متن کاملCommunity composition in bumblebees Diet breadth, coexistence and rarity in bumblebees
Factors that determine the relative abundance of bumblebee species remain poorly understood, rendering management of rare and declining species difficult. Studies of bumblebee communities in the Americas suggest that there are strong competitive interactions between species with similar length tongues, and that this competition determines the relative abundance of species. In contrast, in Europ...
