294+
Leech sensors (sensilla) for distributed sensing.
Leeches utilize over 294 distributed mechanoreceptors (sensilla) to detect and localize prey through water waves. This biological marvel highlights the effectiveness of distributed sensing for robust environmental perception, a principle we've integrated into our AI models for enhanced robotic navigation and data processing.

Motion
The computational model simulates leech goal-seeking behavior. Water wave motion activates distributed mechanoreceptors, which feed into a Winner-Take-All (WTA) neural field. This field processes sensory input to generate motion commands, guiding the simulated leech towards the wave source.

Our model abstracts complex biological details to focus on core principles of distributed mechanoreception. Despite simplifications like reduced sensor count and rigid body locomotion, it successfully recapitulates real-world animal behavior, validating its utility for addressing challenging biological questions and informing engineered systems.
Simulated vs. Live Leech Performance
Problem: Traditional animal experiments face challenges in precisely controlling and ablating sensors to study navigation. It's difficult to systematically assess how sensor count, placement, and quality affect performance.
Solution: Our computational model allowed for systematic sensor ablation and placement studies. We reproduced find rates similar to live animal experiments (e.g., peak success rate in 8-12 Hz frequency range) and explored how different sensor configurations impact navigation without invasive procedures.
Impact: The model achieved find rates (80% success at 11 Hz) comparable to real leeches, demonstrating that even with abstractions, bioinspired AI can accurately predict animal behavior. It also revealed how sensor ablation shifts frequency preferences and validated the robustness of distributed sensing against sensor damage or noise.
