Up until now, we haven’t really been able to accurately track the flight path of certain insects because they're too small and too quick. But researchers have developed a cable-driven parallel robot, ...

I would like to monitor the insects from approximately 2 inches away, or slightly less, using radio frequency identification. Each insect measures approximately 0.5 inch in size. I do not require long ...

In a world-first pilot study, researchers from the University of South Australia (UniSA) have used video footage of insects to extract their heart rates without touching or disturbing them. The ...
