It is well understood that the sight of the spiders is flawed and thus when the victim (like a bee) is caught, they feel vibration in their nets. The web works to expand their sensory system. But the spiders also show less deemed behavior to find the struggle hunting. Most importantly, they work on a crutches position, sometimes go up and down to shake the web, or pull it on the web with one leg. It seems that when the hunting is stationary and stops when the hunt begins to move.
But it can be difficult to study the basic mechanisms of this behavior because there are many variables in the game when directly observed. To simplify matters, researchers at John Hopkins University Taridnamics Laboratory are crying for spider robots and examining them on artificial nets. The results provide evidence of the assumption that the spiders revolve around crocked to feel the differences in the web frequency of finding the victim who are not moving. Researchers Introduced His preliminary results at a meeting of the American Physical Society in the California city of Anima today.
“Our lab robots investigate biological problems using physical models,” team member Yujin Lin told ARS. “It is really difficult to reproduce animal experiences because it is difficult for the animal to do what it wants to do.” On the contrary, the experiences of the robot physical model are fully capable of repeating. And when you are building them, you have a better idea of reality [biological] How are the systems and some special behaviors? “The lab has also made robots affected by cockroaches and fish.
The research was done in partnership with two other labs in the JHU. Andrew Gords Lab studies by the behavior of the spider, especially how they make their nets, and provide biological skills as well as the specialty of spider species (U. DIVERSUS) Interest Joe Lab Lab provided specializing in silicone molding, allowing the team to print their lab’s flexible couples of Spider Robot 3D.

The first spider robot model did not actually move the Move nor changed its currency. It was designed to understand vibration in the artificial web. But Lin Att. Later it was replaced with activists to go up and down. Also, there were only four legs here, with two legs on each leg and two with two acidometers. The real spiders are eight legs and many pairs. But the model was enough for the experimental evidence of the principle. There was also a stationary hunting robot.
