| Object avoidance research. Flying locust (Locusta migratoria) viewing a rapidly approaching spacecraft from the film Star Wars. By monitoring how the locust's nerves react to approaching objects,a collision-avoidance system for vehicles could be created. The locust,harmlessly held on a rod with wax,has a neurone (nerve cell) behind each of its compound eyes called a lobular giant movement detector (LGMD). These neurones can judge if the spacecraft will hit the locust or not. From studying their activity,a robot was built with a similar object-avoiding vision system. This work was done by Dr Claire Rind of the University of Newcastle,England | |
