An Autonomous Robotic Platform to Manipulate Collective Behavior in Ants

Matthias Rüegg

Eusocial life is characterized by division of labour, collective decision making and self organization, and regarded as the highest form of social organisation in groups. Ants are a model organism for research in collective behavior and the evolution of eu ...

Deconstructing body axis morphogenesis in zebrafish embryos using robot-assisted tissue micromanipulation

Matthias Rüegg, Mahmut Selman Sakar, Erik Mailand, Ece Özelçi, Andrew Charles Oates

Classic microsurgical techniques, such as those used in the early 1900s by Mangold and Spemann, have been instrumental in advancing our understanding of embryonic development. However, these techniques are highly specialized, leading to issues of inter-ope ...

Ant behavioral maturation is mediated by a stochastic transition between two fundamental states

Paolo De Los Rios, Matthias Rüegg

The remarkable ecological success of social insects is often attributed to their advanced division of labor, which is closely associated with temporal polyethism in which workers transition between different tasks as they age. Young nurses are typically fo ...
