Neurobiological studies have shown that insects are able to adapt leg movements and posture
for obstacle negotiation in changing environments. Moreover, the distance to an obstacle …

When deciding what to eat, animals evaluate sensory information about food quality
alongside multiple ongoing internal states 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 – 10 . How internal states …

Legged robots need to be able to classify and recognize different terrains to adapt their gait
accordingly. Recent works in terrain classification use different types of sensors (like …

Despite their small size, insect brains are able to produce robust and efficient navigation in
complex environments. Specifically in social insects, such as ants and bees, these …

10.7554/eLife.43924.001 The regulation of feeding plays a key role in determining the
