A New Insect Blog

April 18th, 2009 by Kelley

A friend and colleague of mine, Huai-Ti,  just started a new blog following his research as a PhD candidate at Tufts University. He has been working on insect locomotion for the last 3 years, specifically focused on the Tobacco Hornworm (Manduca sexta) as the model system for learning about soft-bodied locomotion.

Check out his blog and I am sure he would love to answer questions and get some feedback on what he is up to. He is at: http://morphingmorphology.blogspot.com/

    Thanks for the support Kelley!

    My blog is nothing compared to yours, but I will keep up with the weekly update. It’s mostly caterpillar stuffs right now, but there will be other soft-bodied functional morphology discussions coming up. I am also evolving(I mean implementing) more soft biomimetic robots at the moment. Believe me, autonomous soft worm-like robots can be pretty “creepy”.

    Anyways, caterpillars are so cool (spiders too of course ^_^)!
