Sensing, Traffic, and Construction in Termites
Yufei Xiao, Qinglin Wu, Kukhyun Lim +4
Subterranean and mound-building termites excavate, transport, and build within the same granular substrate that later regulates how they sense, move, and deposit material. From ant…
Acceleration-based clustering reveals frequent gait switching in sprint sled dogs
Benjamin Seleb, Saad Bhamla
Continuous video is difficult to obtain during field studies of sprint sled dogs, limiting analysis of stride-to-stride variation during load-pulling gallop. We developed an accele…
Active polymers translocate faster in confinement
K. R. Prathyusha, Paulami Sarkar, Justin Xu +1
Living organisms employ diverse strategies to navigate confined environments. Inspired by translocation observations on California blackworms (\textit{Lumbriculus variegatus}), we…
Semi-automated image analysis of Cellulose Nanofibrils using Machine learning segmentation and Morphological thinning
Carlos Baez, Udita Ringania, Saad Bhamla +1
Reliable and rapid morphology measurement of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) with a high level of branching and entanglement is crucial for quality control, grade definition, and inve…
Noisy active matter
Atanu Chatterjee, Tuhin Chakrabortty, Saad Bhamla
Noise threads every scale of the natural world. Once dismissed as mere background hiss, it is now recognized as both a currency of information and a source of order in systems driv…
Gait Transitions in Load-Pulling Quadrupeds: Insights from Sled Dogs and a Minimal SLIP Model
Jiayu Ding, Benjamin Seleb, Heather J. Huson +2
Quadrupedal animals employ diverse galloping strategies to optimize speed, stability, and energy efficiency. However, the biomechanical mechanisms that enable adaptive gait transit…
Moo-ving mountains: grazing agents drive terracette formation on steep hillslopes
Benjamin Seleb, Louis Gonzalez, Atanu Chatterjee +1
Terracettes, striking, step-like landforms that stripe steep, vegetated hillslopes, have puzzled scientists for more than a century. Competing hypotheses invoke either slow mass-wa…
Temporal network restructuring improves control of indecisive collectives
Tuhin Chakrabortty, Saad Bhamla
Controlling multi-agent systems is a persistent challenge in organismal, robotic and social collectives, especially when agents exhibit stochastic indecisiveness -- frequently swit…
