Recognition of flowers by pollinators
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2006 The flowers of angiosperm plants present us with a staggering diversity of signal designs, but how did this diversity evolve? Answering this question requires us to understand how pollinators analyze these signals with their visual and olfactory sense organs, and how the sensory systems work together with post-receptor neural wiring to produce a ...

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 ...

The Pollination of the Olive [PDF]
Nature, 1908 As Knuth's great work on flower pollination, compiled from all available sources, says nothing whatever about the olive, I recently asked Prof. J. E. Coit, of Arizona, to look out for insects upon the flowers. He carefully examined many olive trees in flower at Tucson, and did not find a single insect at the flowers, with the exception of a thrips ...

A Systematic Approach to Analyze T Cell Migration: Application to Mouse Melanoma Tumors
Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.The results show that a minimum of two migration speeds can be rigorously identified from the data with cells switching between a fast, persistent migratory state, and a slow, random migration state. These results will help in identifying genetic factors that influence rapid migration, among other applications, such as quality control for CAR‐T cell ...
