The Waggle Dance of the Honeybee

How can honeybees communicate the locations of new food sources? Austrian biologist, Karl Von Frisch, devised an experiment to find out! By pairing the direction of the sun with the flow of gravity, honeybees are able to explain the distant locations of food by dancing. “The Waggle Dance of the Honeybee” details the design of Von Frisch’s famous experiment and explains the precise grammar of the honeybees dance language with high quality visualizations. This video is a design documentary, developed by scientists at Georgia Tech’s College of Computing in order to better understand and share with others, the complex behaviors that can arise in social insects. Their goal at the Multi-Agent Robotics and Systems (MARS) Laboratory is to harness new computer vision techniques to accelerate biologists’ research in animal behavior. This behavioral research is then used, in turn, to design better systems of autonomous robots.

Computer Networking

www.tstc.edu Computer Networking at Texas State Technical College. Communications networks of computers and routing devices are no longer luxuries. Today business, government, and individuals depend on reliable connections to communication systems that transmit and receive information instantaneously over long distances. Computers, the cornerstones of new communication systems, connect networks that link information through fiber optic, wireless or satellite media. The Computer Networking & Systems Administration department prepares technicians to build and manage these communication systems. Instructional coursework offers insight into computer network design, implementation and management. Computer Networking & Systems Administration at Texas State Technical College offers specializations in System Administration, Microsoft and UNIX, in addition to the standard CNS curriculum. All associate degrees now include four courses in Cisco Systems networking with emphasis on router and switch configuration. These courses cover all of the material needed for the student to achieve the Cisco Certified Network Associate certification.The two-year CNS program includes classroom and laboratory instruction that focuses on building extensive experience in Microsoft, Novell Netware and UNIX System Administration. The Associate of Applied Science degree program includes courses covering client operating systems, server operating systems, Cisco equipment, NetWare, UNIX, Windows Network … Continue reading…
