Frog Sensors Shake Robot Head
     



        


 

With more biology than robotics,
researchers at University of Tokyo
harvested eggs from African Clawed Frogs to build
inexpensive olfactory sensors.
DNA from fruit flies and moths were added to stimulate production
of the sensors known to be good at detecting certain molecules, then
electrodes
were attached to capture the receptor's output.
Now for the "Robot" part - results from the sensors are read by software
on a PC and a simple actuator was used to cause a robotic mannequin head
to shake back and forth adding impact to the experiment.
See the
PDF
for the full scoop.
