Autonomous Navigation of Bio‐Intelligent Cyborg Insect Based on Insect Visual Perception

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The bio‐intelligent cyborg insect (BCI) introduces a noninvasive ultraviolet‐based control method, leveraging natural sensory behaviors for adaptive navigation. By integrating biological and artificial intelligence, BCI minimizes habituation and enhances locomotion in complex environments.

Flight of the Future: An Experimental Analysis of Event‐Based Vision for Online Perception Onboard Flapping‐Wing Robots

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A thorough analysis of event‐based vision for flapping‐wing robots is presented, with emphasis on hardware integration, suitability under challenging flight conditions, and real‐time performance. Theoretical and experimental studies demonstrate how these sensors enable robust and efficient onboard perception for ornithopters, thereby advancing autonomy

Appetite for self-destruction: suicidal biting as a nest defense strategy in Trigona stingless bees [PDF]

, 2014
Self-sacrificial behavior represents an extreme and relatively uncommon form of altruism in worker insects. It can occur, however, when inclusive fitness benefits are high, such as when defending the nest.

Calotropis procera Latex Extract as an Effective Green Corrosion Inhibitor for Mild Steel in Acidic Medium: Experimental and Quantum Chemical Approaches

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this work, Calotropis procera latex extract (CPLE) was evaluated as an environmentally benign corrosion inhibition on mild steel in 1‐M HCl using gravimetric, electrochemical, surface, and computational approaches. The results revealed that CPLE exhibited an efficient corrosion inhibitor with the efficiency of 94.26% and 93.10% at 200‐ppm ...
