A robotic sensory system with high spatiotemporal resolution for texture recognition. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2023 Humans can gently slide a finger on the surface of an object and identify it by capturing both static pressure and high-frequency vibrations. Although modern robots integrated with flexible sensors can precisely detect pressure, shear force, and strain ...

Mini-UAV Based Sensory System for Measuring Environmental Variables in Greenhouses [PDF]
Sensors, 2015 This paper describes the design, construction and validation of a mobile sensory platform for greenhouse monitoring. The complete system consists of a sensory system on board a small quadrotor (i.e., a four rotor mini-UAV).

Inner ear sensory system changes as extinct crocodylomorphs transitioned from land to water. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2020 Significance During major evolutionary transitions, groups acquire a new body plan that allows them to colonize new habitats and behave in new ways. The evolution of swimming cetaceans from land-living mammals is a prime example.

Disposable Potentiometric Sensory System for Skin Antioxidant Activity Evaluation. [PDF]
Sensors (Basel), 2019 The skin is a natural barrier between the external and internal environment. Its protective functions and the relationship of its state with the state of health of the organism as a whole are very important.

Dynamic assembly of ribbon synapses and circuit maintenance in a vertebrate sensory system. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2019 Ribbon synapses transmit information in sensory systems, but their development is not well understood. To test the hypothesis that ribbon assembly stabilizes nascent synapses, we performed simultaneous time-lapse imaging of fluorescently-tagged ribbons ...

Primary sensory map formations reflect unique needs and molecular cues specific to each sensory system. [PDF]
F1000Res, 2019 Interaction with the world around us requires extracting meaningful signals to guide behavior. Each of the six mammalian senses (olfaction, vision, somatosensation, hearing, balance, and taste) has a unique primary map that extracts sense-specific ...

Sensory system plasticity in a visually specialized, nocturnal spider. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 The interplay between an animal’s environmental niche and its behavior can influence the evolutionary form and function of its sensory systems. While intraspecific variation in sensory systems has been documented across distant taxa, fewer studies have ...
