(U) THIS PAPER PRESENTS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A BIOLOGICALLY INSPIRED ACOUSTIC SENSOR THE GOAL OF WHICH IS TO CONSTRUCT A MINIATURE DEVICE THAT IS CAPABLE OF DETECTING THE ORIENTATION OF AN INCIDENT SOUND SOURCE WITH HIGH ACCURACY. THE DESIGN APPROACH FOLLOWS FROM AN INVESTIGATION OF THE MECHANICS OF DIRECTIONAL HEARING IN THE PARASITOID FLY, ORMIA OCHRACEA, WHICH HAS BEEN SHOWN TO BE ABLE TO DETECT CHANGES, ACCORDING TO THE AUTHORS, ...
(U) THIS PAPER DISCUSSES A STUDY PROVIDING AN INSECT MODEL OF VIBRATION LOCALIZATION THAT PROVIDES AN APPROACH TO DIRECTIONAL VIBRATION SENSING OVER VERY SMALL SPATIAL SCALES. THE TREEHOPPER, UMBONIA CRASSICORNIS, COMMUNICATES USING VIBRATIONAL SIGNALS TRANSMITTED ALONG PLANT STEMS IN THE FORM OF BENDING WAVES. THE INSECT DETECTS SUBSTRATE VIBRATIONS USING SENSORS IN THE LEGS. A SIMULATOR WAS CONSTRUCTED THAT MIMICS SURFACE MOTION OF PROPAGATING BENDING WAVES TO EXPLORE DIRECTIONAL SENSING ...
