Amphibian water to land transition reveals physical limits of olfaction
Martin James, Loranzie S. Rogers, Moreira Salsman +3
The evolutionary transition from water to land required animals to sense chemicals under fundamentally different physical constraints. Because chemicals diffuse orders of magnitude…
Clock-state olfactory search in turbulent flows using Q-learning: The geometry of plume recovery
Marco Rando, Robin A. Heinonen, Yujia Qi +1
Finding an odor source in a turbulent flow requires effectively leveraging the history of olfactory observations into a robust navigation strategy. In this work, we use tabular Q-l…
Smart strategies to navigate turbulent odor plumes reorienting to local wind
Lorenzo Piro, Maurizio Carbone, Luca Biferale +4
Olfactory search in turbulent environments is a sensorimotor problem that many animals solve with remarkable efficiency, yet replicating this ability in artificial systems is an en…
Zero-information limit of a collective olfactory search model
Francesco Boccardo, Simone Di Marino, Agnese Seminara
We address the problem of how individuals can integrate efficiently their private behavior with information provided by others within a group. To this end, we consider the model of…
Noise enhances odor source localization
Francesco Marcolli, Martin James, Agnese Seminara
We address the problem of inferring the location of a target that releases odor in the presence of turbulence. Input for the inference is provided by many sensors scattered within…
Learning to crawl: Benefits and limits of centralized vs distributed control
Luca Gagliardi, Agnese Seminara
We present a model of a crawler consisting of several suction units distributed along a straight line and connected by springs. The suction units are rudimentary proprioceptors-act…
