Honeybee Odometry: Performance in Varying Natural Terrain
Recent studies have shown that honeybees flying through short, narrow tunnels with visually textured walls perform waggle dances that indicate a much greater flight distance than that actually flown. These studies suggest that the bee's "odometer" is driven by the optic flow (image motion) that is experienced during flight. One might therefore expect that, when bees fly to a food source through...
متن کاملHoneybees as a model for the study of visually guided flight, navigation, and biologically inspired robotics.
Research over the past century has revealed the impressive capacities of the honeybee, Apis mellifera, in relation to visual perception, flight guidance, navigation, and learning and memory. These observations, coupled with the relative ease with which these creatures can be trained, and the relative simplicity of their nervous systems, have made honeybees an attractive model in which to pursue...
متن کاملList of Figures List of Tables
Controlled Flight into Terrain is one of the major sources of accidents in aviation today. Studies have shown that the use of Terrain Awareness and Warning Systems (TAWS) can decrease the number of such accidents. A problem with current TAWS is that the majority of them use the same display window as other information such as weather, traffic, airport positions, and moving map programs. The amo...
متن کاملFlight Path Angle Steering with Lambert Guidance Reference
In this paper a new guidance technique for ballistic missiles and launch vehicles is proposed. Generally the Lambert guidance is used to generate missile nominal (correlated) parameters through powered flight to put it in a ballistic flight path. Because of uncertainties and undesired factors, the nominal position and velocity obtained by Lambert technique need to be followed in actual flight. ...
متن کاملInteraction between Varroa destructor and imidacloprid reduces flight capacity of honeybees.
Current high losses of honeybees seriously threaten crop pollination. Whereas parasite exposure is acknowledged as an important cause of these losses, the role of insecticides is controversial. Parasites and neonicotinoid insecticides reduce homing success of foragers (e.g. by reduced orientation), but it is unknown whether they negatively affect flight capacity. We investigated how exposing co...
