In silico experiments reveal the importance of randomness of motions in cockroach’s winged self-righting
Meeting Abstract 64-1 Saturday, Jan. 5 13:30 – 13:45 In silico experiments reveal the importance of randomness of motions in cockroach’s winged self-righting XUAN, Q*; OTHAYOTH, R; LI, C; Johns Hopkins University qxuan1@jhu.edu http://li.me.jhu.edu Terrestrial animals must self-right when overturned to survive. The discoid cockroach Blaberus discoidalis can dynamically self-right by opening its wings to push against […]
