Dopamine Is a Regulator of Arousal in the Fruit Fly [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2005 Sleep and arousal are known to be regulated by both homeostatic and circadian processes, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are not well understood. It has been reported that theDrosophilarest/activity cycle has features in common with the mammalian sleep/wake cycle, and it is expected that use of the fly genetic model will facilitate a molecular ...

A linear systems analysis of the yaw dynamics of a dynamically scaled insect model [PDF]
, 2010 Recent studies suggest that fruit flies use subtle changes to their wing motion to actively generate forces during aerial maneuvers. In addition, it has been estimated that the passive rotational damping caused by the flapping wings of an insect is ...

Vision‐Assisted Avocado Harvesting with Aerial Bimanual Manipulation
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This work outlines the design and implementation of a bimanual aerial robot that employs visual perception and learning to detect, reach, and harvest avocados. A new gripper and fixer arm assembly is used to harvest avocados, while visual perception enables the detection of avocados and estimation of their position and orientation for determining ...
