Since 2020, a significant increase in the severity of H5N highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) epidemics in poultry and wild birds has been observed in Poland. To further investigate the genetic diversity of HPAI H5N viruses of clade 2.3.4.4b, HP...
Deep learning shows promise for automating detection and classification of wildlife from digital aerial imagery to support cost-efficient remote sensing solutions for wildlife population monitoring. To support in-flight orthorectification and machine...
Cardiac arrhythmia is a deadly disease that threatens the lives of millions of people, which shows the need for earlier detection and classification. An abnormal signal in the heart causing arrhythmia can be detected at an earlier stage when the heal...

The conservation of avian diversity plays a critical role in maintaining ecological balance and ecosystem function, as well as having a profound impact on human survival and livelihood. With species' continuous and rapid decline, information and inte...
Aerial robots can perch onto structures at heights to reduce energy use or to remain firmly in place when interacting with their surroundings. Like how birds have wings to fly and legs to perch, these bio-inspired aerial robots use independent perchi...
Flight control such as stable hovering and trajectory tracking of tailless flapping-wing micro aerial vehicles is a challenging task. Given the constraint on actuation capability, flight control authority is limited beyond sufficient lift generation....

The use of flying robots (drones) is increasing rapidly, but their utility is limited by high power demand, low specific energy storage and poor gust tolerance. By contrast, birds demonstrate long endurance, harvesting atmospheric energy in environme...
Traditional flapping-wing robots (FWRs) obtain lift and thrust by relying on the passive deformation of their wings which cannot actively fold or deform. In contrast, flying creatures such as birds, bats, and insects can maneuver agilely through acti...
