Control of a Nature-inspired Scorpion using Reinforcement Learning [PDF]
A terrestrial robot that can maneuver rough terrain and scout places is very useful in mapping out unknown areas. It can also be used explore dangerous areas in place of humans. A terrestrial robot modeled after a scorpion will be able to traverse undetected and can be used for surveillance purposes.

Gene and Genome Duplication in Spiders
In chelicerates whole genome duplications (WGDs) were identified in distinct groups. While there is evidence that Xiphosurans/horseshoe crabs had three rounds of WGD and arachnopulmonates (e.g. spiders and scorpions) had one WGD, in many other arachnid groups no WGD was identified.
