By studying how bees walk, researchers at Tsinghua University in Beijing, China, hope to gain insights that could assist in the design of multilegged robots. Here, Shaoze Yan, Ph.D., (left) and Jieliang Zhao, Ph.D., of the university’s Division of Intelligent and Biomechanical Systems, set up an experimental platform that combines a high-speed camera and carefully placed mirrors to obtain three views of the honeybee as it moves.
