The Diversity of Symbiotic Systems in Scale Insects
, 2020 Most scale insects, like many other plant sap-sucking hemipterans, harbor obligate symbionts of bacterial or fungal origin, which synthesize and provide the host with substances missing in their restricted diet. Histological, ultrastructural, and molecular analyses have revealed that scale insects differ in the type of symbionts, the localization of ...

An Insect-Scale Self-Sufficient Rolling Microrobot [PDF]
IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 2020 We design an insect-sized rolling microrobot driven by continuously rotating wheels. It measures 18mm$\times$8mm$\times$8mm. There are 2 versions of the robot - a 96mg laser-powered one and a 130mg supercapacitor powered one. The robot can move at 27mm/s (1.5 body lengths per second) with wheels rotating at 300$^\circ$/s, while consuming an average ...
