Researchers have now developed a novel bio-hybrid drone by combining robotic elements with odor-sensing antennae from silkworm moths. Their innovation, which integrates the agility and precision ...

Traditional drones rely on visual sensors for navigation, but these systems struggle in low light, dusty, or damp environments. This limitation makes it difficult for drones to function ...

This section of a geometer moth antenna is obviously not a true nose, as we think of that organ, but these moths do use their antennae to detect odorants and other chemicals in the air. Their antennae ...

Wing it as a majestic moth with this head piece, complete with proboscis (a moth's tongue-like mouthpart) and antennae. To get started, print out two copies of the antennae template PDF (3.7MB). a ...

The innovative design involves carefully extracting the antennae of silkworm moths and attaching them to electrodes on an electroantennography (EAG) sensor, a system used to measure electrical ...

Bio-hybrid drone uses silkworm moth antennae to navigate using smell Shinshu University Funder Heisei Memorial Research Grant, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, JKA Foundation, Casio ...

Though proportionally smaller than the female, its antennae are larger and more feathery. The feathery antennae of male Madagascan moon moths are very good at detecting females Alessandro says, 'The ...

Butterflies and moths belong to the large order Lepidoptera, but each has its own family. Similarities of each are the ability to fly, having three pairs of legs, two antennae and three body ...

Researchers from Shinshu University and Chiba University develop a novel bio-hybrid drone using odor-sensing antennae from silkworm moths. Incorporation of an electroantennography (EAG ...
