Scientists are looking at bugs
to figure out how to develop
sophisticated, space age robots.
Yes, daddy longlegs, which
coordinate their jointed legs as
they negotiate uneven surfaces,
are aiding in the development of
walking machines that could op
erate on terrains now inaccessi
ble to man.
People who study robots —
robotocists — have long tried to
design an “adaptive walking
machine,” a device capable of
making constant adjustments to
uneven ground. Programming a
robot to walk with a fixed gait on
a flat surface is easy, but no one
has yet made a robot with a free
gait. That is why Ohio State Uni
versity electrical engineer
Robert McGee and University of
Oregon scientist Robert Frank
lin went to work with daddy
longlegs.
They discovered that these
bugs’ eyes are not essential for
navigation. Instead, they use
their second and longer pair of
legs as feelers.
So far, McGee and Franklin
have put together an ex
perimental walking machine
capable of adjusting the height
of the legs to keep its body level.

WASHINGTON — Numer
ous studies have shown that peo
ple who worry or are stressful
have an increased risk of de
veloping a disease, and a Boston
psychiatrist says it appears that
the absence of such stress might
promote health.
The key seems to be denial,
the conscious or subconscious
repudiation of risk, Dr. Thomas
P. Hackett said.
Hackett, chief of psychiatry
at Massachusetts General Hos
pital, said denial is a person’s
way of coping with a difficult
situation. Not only does a denier
minimize worry, but also he is
able to think positively about the
future.

On January 28 at 5 p.m. the studio will close. No more indiuidu
al pictures will be taken after that date for the ’83 Aggieland.
The denier is optimistic and
confident and may have a
humorous outlook about things,
Hackett said.
A study of people who had
heart attacks found that indi
viduals classified as deniers were
more apt to survive hospitaliza
tion in the coronary care unit
than were the fearful, Hackett
said.
“Survival rates for the denier,
while not strikingly greater than
for the non-denier, demonstrate
that over the long haul, denial is
not a bad coping tactic,” Hackett
said.
“Individuals who have the
capacity to deny tend to do bet
ter in convalescence than wor
riers.
“They get less depressed, re
turn to sexual activity following
an MI (myocardial infarction, or
heart attack) with more alacrity,
and go back to work more rapid
ly than non-deniers.
“Their quality of lifeissuti
lively more satisfying thantfl
non-denying counterparts’!
Because of those
Hackett and his colleagues|
amined the characteristicsofl
denier by conducting extenl
interviews with the patients)]
backing these up with liedfl
tor tests and interviews 1
friends and associates.
“In addition to denying
they also tended to minimi
symptoms,” Hackett said.
“Verbal dismissal offeap]
often accompanied byashrm
an arm wave of dismissal Til
seemed to regard themselvej
invulnerable or possessing^
failing luck.”
Denial appears to beasul
trait, he said. The denier ij
individual who has a 1
tory of adapting to stress]
minimizing its impact.
