Obstacle avoidance in honeybees

🐝 What cues do insects use to safely fly through apertures and clearances within cluttered environments? Latest study by Tim suggests that honeybees likely modulate flight speed and clearance to maintain constant ventral optic flow to safely fly through apertures.

The Bioengineering Lab at UNSW Canberra focuses on drawing inspiration from the biological systems of animals to solve engineering problems. Observing and modeling organisms such as insects, avians, and swimming animals, we are looking to design and create smarter engineering solutions.

We strive to conduct multi-disciplinary research that blends engineering, organismal biology, and robotics.
