Artificial motion by growth: how plants can inspire a new generation of robots
Barbara Mazzolai*, Lucia Beccai Center for Micro-BioRobotics, Italian Institute of Technology, Pontedera, Italy [email protected] Although plants lack muscles, they generate many different kinds of movement in a timescale spanning from days to milliseconds (Forterre, 2013). Moreover, plants have the capability to respond to a wide range of signals. In fact, being sessile, one way plants a...
متن کاملCan Developmental Biology Inspire Amorphous Computing?
Systems constructed from vast numbers of tiny processors / sensors, connected together in a nonprescribed way, form the basis of novel computing paradigms such as amorphous computing, ubiquitous computing and pervasive computing. Within these systems, the individual computational units may be fragile, unpredictable and only able to communicate locally. However, despite these individual restrict...
متن کاملHow Can Photo Sharing Inspire Sharing Genomes?
People usually are aware of the privacy risks of publishing photos online, but these risks are less evident when sharing human genomes. Modern photos and sequenced genomes are both digital representations of real lives. They contain private information that may compromise people’s privacy, and still, their highest value is most of times achieved only when sharing them with others. In this work,...
متن کاملWorkspaces that move people.
Few companies measure whether the design of their workspaces helps or hurts performance, but they should. The authors have collected data that capture individuals' interactions, communications, and location information. They've learned that face-to-face interactions are by far the most important activity in an office; creating chance encounters between knowledge workers, both inside and outside...
متن کاملWhy move the eyes if we can move the head?
To see while moving is a very basic and integrative sensorimotor function in vertebrates. To maintain visual acuity, the oculomotor system provides efficient compensatory eye movements for head and visual field displacements. Other types of eye movement allow the selection of new visual targets and binocular vision and stereopsis. Motor and premotor neuronal circuits involved in the genesis and...
