Robotic milking: Feeding strategies and economic returns.

Journal of dairy science
Cows in herds equipped with conventional milking parlors follow a structured, consistent, and social milking and feeding routine. Furthermore, in most cases cows in conventional herds receive all their nutrients from a total mixed ration, whereas in ...

Identifying Future Drinkers: Behavioral Analysis of Monkeys Initiating Drinking to Intoxication is Predictive of Future Drinking Classification.

Alcoholism, clinical and experimental research
BACKGROUND: The Monkey Alcohol Tissue Research Resource (MATRR) is a repository and analytics platform for detailed data derived from well-documented nonhuman primate (NHP) alcohol self-administration studies. This macaque model has demonstrated cate...

Performance of an insect-inspired target tracker in natural conditions.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Robust and efficient target-tracking algorithms embedded on moving platforms, are a requirement for many computer vision and robotic applications. However, deployment of a real-time system is challenging, even with the computational power of modern h...

Image Classification Using Biomimetic Pattern Recognition with Convolutional Neural Networks Features.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
As a typical deep-learning model, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) can be exploited to automatically extract features from images using the hierarchical structure inspired by mammalian visual system. For image classification tasks, traditional CN...

Flow separation on flapping and rotating profiles with spanwise gradients.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The growth of leading-edge vortices (LEV) on analogous flapping and rotating profiles has been investigated experimentally. Three time-varying cases were considered: a two-dimensional reference case with a spanwise-uniform angle-of-attack variation α...

A review of compliant transmission mechanisms for bio-inspired flapping-wing micro air vehicles.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Flapping-wing micro air vehicles (FWMAVs) are a class of unmanned aircraft that imitate flight characteristics of natural organisms such as birds, bats, and insects, in order to achieve maximum flight efficiency and manoeuvrability. Designing proper ...

The effect of leg compliance in multi-directional jumping of a flea-inspired mechanism.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Inspired by the relationship between leg compliance and jumping performance in the false stick insect, this paper describes how variations in leg compliance and jumping direction affect the performance of a flea-inspired jumping mechanism. The amount...

Improving Endpoint Detection to Support Automated Systematic Reviews.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
Authors of biomedical articles use comparison sentences to communicate the findings of a study, and to compare the results of the current study with earlier studies. The Claim Framework defines a comparison claim as a sentence that includes at least ...

Finances and returns for robotic dairies.

Journal of dairy science
Automatic milking systems (AMS) became commercially available in the early 1990s. These systems provide flexibility and improve the lifestyle of farmers installing them. Because of the larger capital cost per kilogram of milk produced, observational ...

Nestedness across biological scales.

PloS one
Biological networks pervade nature. They describe systems throughout all levels of biological organization, from molecules regulating metabolism to species interactions that shape ecosystem dynamics. The network thinking revealed recurrent organizati...
