Behavioural and life-history responses of mosquitofish to biologically inspired and interactive robotic predators.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface
Invasive alien species threaten biodiversity worldwide and contribute to biotic homogenization, especially in freshwaters, where the ability of native animals to disperse is limited. Robotics may offer a promising tool to address this compelling prob...

A fully autonomous terrestrial bat-like acoustic robot.

PLoS computational biology
Echolocating bats rely on active sound emission (echolocation) for mapping novel environments and navigating through them. Many theoretical frameworks have been suggested to explain how they do so, but few attempts have been made to build an actual r...

Escape and surveillance asymmetries in locusts exposed to a Guinea fowl-mimicking robot predator.

Scientific reports
Escape and surveillance responses to predators are lateralized in several vertebrate species. However, little is known on the laterality of escapes and predator surveillance in arthropods. In this study, we investigated the lateralization of escape a...

Evolution of Collective Behaviour in an Artificial World Using Linguistic Fuzzy Rule-Based Systems.

PloS one
Collective behaviour is a fascinating and easily observable phenomenon, attractive to a wide range of researchers. In biology, computational models have been extensively used to investigate various properties of collective behaviour, such as: transfe...

Modeling Dynamic Systems with Efficient Ensembles of Process-Based Models.

PloS one
Ensembles are a well established machine learning paradigm, leading to accurate and robust models, predominantly applied to predictive modeling tasks. Ensemble models comprise a finite set of diverse predictive models whose combined output is expecte...

Mass entrapment and lysis of Mesodinium rubrum cells in mucus threads observed in cultures with Dinophysis.

Harmful algae
The entrapment and death of the ciliate Mesodinium rubrum in the mucus threads in cultures with Dinophysis is described and quantified. Feeding experiments with different concentrations and predator-prey ratios of Dinophysis acuta, Dinophysis acumina...

Imparting protean behavior to mobile robots accomplishing patrolling tasks in the presence of adversaries.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Providing unpredictable trajectories for patrol robots is essential when coping with adversaries. In order to solve this problem we developed an effective approach based on the known protean behavior of individual prey animals-random zig-zag movement...

A Real-Time Interactive System for Studying Confrontational Pursuit Behavior in Rodents.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
Predatory pursuit behavior involves a series of important physiological processes, such as locomotion, learning, and decision-making that are critical to the success of an animal in capturing prey. However, there are few methods and systems for study...
