Insect-inspired, efficient event-based classification of tactile features

The paper develops a neuromechanical framework inspired by cockroach antennae to model tactile perception, showing how sparse, event-based spike codes enable efficient tactile feature classification.

Physically intelligent insect-inspired antenna sensors enhance tactile feature perception by active touch

This study develops insect-inspired antenna sensors that improve tactile feature perception through mechanical design and active touch strategies, reducing computational costs.

Mechanical and morphological features of the cockroach antenna confer flexibility, reveal a kinematic chain system and predict strain information for proprioception

The paper investigates the mechanical and morphological features of the American cockroach antenna to understand how they enable flexibility and proprioception through a kinematic chain system.

Mechanisms of punctuated vision in fly flight

This study investigates how Drosophila flies reset eye position during flight using head saccades, revealing mechanical and neural mechanisms for gaze stabilization.
