Voluntary visits to the milking robot are the basis of automatic milking system functionality. Therefore, problems arise when cows are undermotivated to visit the robot. Cows with reduced competitive abilities, specifically those that are lame or low...
Predator-prey interactions exemplify adaptive intelligence refined by evolution, yet replicating these behaviors in artificial systems remains challenging. Here, we introduce PursuitNet, a deep learning framework specifically designed to model the co...

Engineering small autonomous agents capable of operating in the microscale environment remains a key challenge, with current systems still evolving. Our study explores the fruit fly, , a classic model system in biology and a species adept at microsca...
Despite advancements in video-based behaviour analysis and detection models for various species, existing methods are suboptimal to detect macaques in complex laboratory environments. To address this gap, we present MacqD, a modified Mask R-CNN model...
Animal-robot interaction (ARI) is an emerging field that uses biomimetic robots to replicate biological cues, enabling controlled studies of animal behavior. This study investigates the potential for ARI systems to induce local enhancement (e.g. wher...
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Niuhuang Jiedu (NHJD) is a Chinese medicine prescription containing realgar (AsS), which is neurotoxic, and seven other traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs). However, whether the multiple TCMs contained in NHJD can mit...
There is great interest in using genetically tractable organisms such as to gain insights into the regulation and function of sleep. However, sleep phenotyping in has largely relied on simple measures of locomotor inactivity. Here, we present FlyVI...
The Morris Water Maze (MWM) is a widely used behavioral test to assess the spatial learning and memory of animals, particularly valuable in studying neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. Traditional methods for analyzing MWM experi...
Surgical castration of males is carried out on a large scale in the US swine industry and the pain resulting from this procedure can be assessed using the Unesp-Botucatu pig composite acute pain scale (UPAPS). We aim to propose a short version of UPA...
Heat stress is a major welfare problem in the poultry industry, altering broilers' activity levels. Advancements in image processing and machine learning provide opportunities to automatically quantify and analyze broiler activity. This study aimed t...
