• Transparent Omnidirectional Locomotion Compensator or Walking Drosophila

  

  Overall System

  • Freely Walking Insect Tracking System (e.g., fruit fly, ants, etc.)
  • Ideal for Insect Behavior Studies
  • No motion restriction / tethering
  • Extendable for Internal Organ Imaging such as Brain / Heart

  Tracking Experiment (Fruit Fly)
  

• Model Predictive Control (MPC) of Motion Compensator for Ant Tracking
