Guy Levy, a neuroscientist at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and his team studied how an 카지노 찰리 avoids latching onto itself. They cut off an 카지노 찰리’s arm and subjected it to a series of tests, and found that 카지노 찰리 arms have a built-in mechanism that prevents the suckers from grabbing 카지노 찰리 skin. This scheme allows the 카지노 찰리 to use its arms for behaviors like searching and grasping without having to compute where and when the limbs might touch each other, preventing entanglement. The animals also seemed able to differentiate between their own amputated arms and those of other 카지노 찰리es. It is the first demonstration of a chemical self-recognition mechanism in motor control, and could help scientists to build better bio-inspired soft robots.
