Electrical stimulation of stick insect leg muscles can be used to control their movement, with a nearly linear relationship between the duration of stimulation and the torque generated. This could be used to refine the motor control of tuned biohybrid robots, making their movements more precise. However, further testing is needed to implement this in free-walking insects and to refine the electrical stimuli to mimic natural neuromuscular signals more closely.

AI and birders are joining forces to push bird conservation to the next level.
New research from Cornell University is using big data and artificial intelligence (AI) to model hidden patterns in nature, not just for one bird species, but for entire ecological communities across continents. And the models follow each species’ full annual life cycle, from breeding to fall migration to non-breeding grounds, and back north again during […]
