Wasp waist a tail of abdominal flexion, sensing, actuation, and flight control
Meeting Abstract 136-8 Sunday, Jan. 8 15:15 – 15:30 Wasp waist: a tail of abdominal flexion, sensing, actuation, and flight control BUSTAMANTE, J*; JANKAUSKI, M; DANIEL, TL; University of Washington jorgebjr@uw.edu Recent research suggests that abdominal actuation during insect flight may contribute to control and stability via inertial redirection of flight forces. All hymenoptera within the suborder […]

Robustness Via Redundancy Multisensory Control of Flight in Hawkmoths
Meeting Abstract 136-4 Sunday, Jan. 8 14:15 – 14:30 Robustness Via Redundancy: Multisensory Control of Flight in Hawkmoths ROTH, E*; SPONBERG, S; DANIEL, T; Univ. of Washington; Georgia Tech; Univ. of Washington eatai@uw.edu Animals rely on information pooled across multiple sensory modalities to control locomotion. In effect, sensory feedback in behavior comprises numerous parallel feedback loops, collectively […]
Flight Control Compensation to Changing Body Mass in Feeding Hawkmoths
Meeting Abstract 136-5 Sunday, Jan. 8 14:30 – 14:45 Flight Control Compensation to Changing Body Mass in Feeding Hawkmoths CHANDLER, S*; SPONBERG, S; Georgia Institute of Technology; Georgia Institute of Technology steven.chandler@gatech.edu http://s1.sponberg.gatech.edu/ Motor control of animals has been shown to be quite robust to mechanical and environmental variation. In studying motor control, tracking behaviors have revealed […]
Dynamic Morphology in Honeybee Swarms
Meeting Abstract 136-6 Sunday, Jan. 8 14:45 – 15:00 Dynamic Morphology in Honeybee Swarms PELEG, O*; PETERS, J; SALCEDO, M/K; MAHADEVAN , L; Harvard University; Harvard University; Harvard University; Harvard University opeleg@seas.harvard.edu http://people.seas.harvard.edu/~opeleg/ Honeybee colonies often form swarms [1] wherein the queen and workers bees (on average ~10,000 bees) may gather in a tree or on a […]
Drosophila haltere steering muscles are active during voluntary maneuvers and are directionally tuned
Meeting Abstract 136-3 Sunday, Jan. 8 14:00 – 14:15 Drosophila haltere steering muscles are active during voluntary maneuvers and are directionally tuned. DICKERSON, BH*; DICKINSON, MH; California Institute of Technology; California Institute of Technology bdicker@caltech.edu http://www.its.caltech.edu/~bdicker/ As flies navigate their environment in search of food or mates, they execute sharp turns known as saccades that occur faster […]
Direct perturbation on humans performing sit-to-stand motion reveals corrective feedback control strategy
Meeting Abstract 136-1 Sunday, Jan. 8 13:30 – 13:45 Direct perturbation on humans performing sit-to-stand motion reveals corrective feedback control strategy HOLMES, PD*; SHIA, V; MOORE, TY; VASUDEVAN, R; Univ. of Michigan; Univ. of California, Berkeley; Univ. of Michigan; Univ. of Michigan pdholmes@umich.edu Animals use feedback to correct for deviations from an ideal motion to improve their […]
