23.09.2011 Epigenetic changes don’t last

The model plant Arabidopsis. Changes in the genetic code from von C to mC can occur spontaneously. Graphic: Martin Vötsch / Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology.

First comprehensive inventory of epigenetic changes over several generations shows that these often do not last and therefore probably have limited effects on long-term evolution.» read more

22.08.2011 Swarm Teleoperation – enhancing the communication in flying robot systems

The Quadcopter is a small, approximately 16 inches in diameter, unmanned aerial vehicles (UVA’s), navigated by a human operator. Picture: Martin Breidt / Max Planck Institute fpr Biological Cybernetics.
A human operator bilaterally controls a multi-robot-system (here: quadcopters) by giving one basic command, while the robots take care of the executing the details of the task as autonomously as possible (here: surrounding an obstacle in the way).
