Novel Approach to Characterizing Mechanosensory Feedback in Soft-Bodied Animals Using Manduca sexta
Meeting Abstract P3-193 Wednesday, Jan. 6 15:30 Novel Approach to Characterizing Mechanosensory Feedback in Soft-Bodied Animals Using Manduca sexta SCIBELLI, AE*; TRIMMER, BA; Tufts University anthony.scibelli@tufts.edu http://ase.tufts.edu/igert/softMaterialRobotics/people/fellowsScibelli.htm The ability of organisms to locomote efficiently depends on detecting key features within the environment. For soft-bodied animals moving in terrestrial habitats, most mechanical interactions deform the body more than […]
