Leg Design for a Praying Mantis Robot
The praying mantis uses its front legs for locomotion, prey capture and feeding. Inspired by this dexterity, we began designing a hexapod robot that could use its front legs for both locomotion and manipulation. Our current work focuses on the middle and back legs of the robot. We designed a five degree of freedom leg, using a gimbal to form three intersecting axes of rotation at the hip to imi...
متن کاملMismatch repair: praying for genome stability
For the reader who believes that only computers can faithfully duplicate gigabits of information, some insights into his or her own biology will be revealing. Just as he or she reads this Primer, billions of his or her cells prepare for division by replicating the six billion or so DNA nucleotides of their diploid genomes, each cell typically making not more than a single mistake. This extraord...
متن کاملThe “Bun-Turks” in Ancient Georgia
Turkic languages are an integral part of the linguistic landscape of present-day Caucasia, both north and south of the mountain ridge. Different from the so-called “autochthonous” Caucasian languages, i.e. the languages pertaining to the Kartvelian (South-Caucasian), (North-)West Caucasian and (North-East) Caucasian families, both the southern (Oghuz) and the northern (Qypchaq) idioms of Turkic...
متن کاملRain structure transfer using an exemplar rain image for synthetic rain image generation
This letter proposes a simple method of transferring rain structures of a given exemplar image (rain image) into a target image (non‐rain image). Given the exemplar rain image and its corresponding masked rain image, rain patches including real‐life rain structures are extracted randomly, and then residual rain patches are obtained by subtracting those rain patches from their mean patches. Next...
متن کاملAre web stabilimenta attractive to praying mantids?
Certain species of orb-weavers add extra silk structures, termed a stabilimentum or web decoration, to their webs. In the genus Argiope stabilimenta are silken structures of densely woven zig-zag ribbons. The adaptive value of these stabilimenta is still unclear and controversially discussed. In the course of time, many functional hypotheses have been proposed for silk stabilimenta. Because of ...
