  4. Just ordered some parts to prototype an experimental tactile interface for "feeling" visual textures.

    I ordered a piezoelectric actuator, some through hole op-amps to drive it, a breadboard, some prototyping wire, some 1/8" prototyping jacks, an assortment of through hole resistors, and a big box of small plastic drawers to organize my parts.

    I'm gonna drive the piezoelectric actuator by driving the op-amp with the audio out from my sound card on my PC. I'm planning to prototype a tiny MCU and tiny camera separately.

    I'm so excited for this project.

  5. Robotic system offers hidden window into collective #bee #behavior

    “Many rules of bee society – from collective and individual interactions to raising a healthy brood – are regulated by #temperature, so we leveraged that for this study,” explains EPFL PhD student Rafael Barmak, first author on a paper on the system recently published in #Science #Robotics.

    “The thermal #sensors create a snapshot of the bees’ collective behavior, while the #actuators allow us to influence their movement by modulating thermal fields.”

    “Previous studies on the thermal behavior of honeybees in winter have relied on observing the bees or manipulating the outside temperature,” adds Martin Stefanec of the University of Graz.

    “Our robotic system enables us to change the temperature from within the cluster, emulating the heating behavior of core bees there, and allowing us to study how the winter cluster actively regulates its temperature.”
