This project investigates how fruit fly legs use touch to navigate obstacles, focusing on the role of mechanosensors and leg structure. The findings aim to inform the design of advanced tactile sensors for robotics.
Navigating over complex and varying terrain is a fundamental challenge that animals tackle with ease, but even state-of-the-art robots struggle to achieve.
Reverse-engineering animal sensorimotor control and active tactile sensing can provide crucial insights for designing autonomous robots and smart prosthetics.
Unraveling these mechanisms is challenging because neural processing via mechanosensors and body structures (known as morphological intelligence) are tightly coupled.
