IMp: The customizable LEGO® Pinned Insect Manipulator
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a pinned insect manipulator (IMp) constructed of LEGO® building bricks with two axes of movement and two axes of rotation. In addition we present three variants of the IMp to emphasise the modular design, which facilitates resizing to meet the full range of pinned insect specimens, is fully customizable, collapsible, affordable and does not require specialist tools or knowledge to assemble.

Dynamics and Trajectory Tracking Control of a Two-Link Robot Manipulator
Operational problems with robot manipulators in space relate to several factors, most importantly, structural flexibility and subsequent difficulties with their position control. In this paper we present control methods for endpoint tracking of a 12 6 12 6 m2 trajectory by a two-link robot manipulator. Initially, a manipulator with rigid links is modeled using inverse dynamics, a linear quadrat...
متن کاملμOrgano: A Lego®-Like Plug & Play System for Modular Multi-Organ-Chips
Human organ-on-a-chip systems for drug screening have evolved as feasible alternatives to animal models, which are unreliable, expensive, and at times erroneous. While chips featuring single organs can be of great use for both pharmaceutical testing and basic organ-level studies, the huge potential of the organ-on-a-chip technology is revealed by connecting multiple organs on one chip to create...
متن کاملIn vitro interactions between immunodominant membrane protein of lime witches’ broom phytoplasma and leafhopper vector proteins
Lime witches’ broom phytoplasma (16SrII, LWB) causes major losses to lime cultivation in Iran. The role of its immunodominant membrane protein (IMP) in the specific interaction with vector proteins was addressed. The carboxy terminal moiety of LWB IMP, coding the extracellular part of the protein, was expressed (LWB f∆IMP) as a tool to study IMP interactions with insect proteins. In preliminary...

متن کاملTowards Automated Transcription of Label Text from Pinned Insect Collections
We present a computer vision system that can transcribe the text on tiny printed labels stacked beneath pinned insects (as found in museum collections). The approach uses multiple views of each label because the labels are often occluded by the pin, the insect specimen, and other labels. Our approach handles occlusion and the extreme viewing angles required to image the stacked labels. Automate...
