A research team from Osaka University has developed an innovative new animal-borne data-collection system that, guided by artificial intelligence (AI), has led to the witnessing of previously unreported foraging behaviors in seabirds.<\/p>\n


\n <\/section>\n

Bio-logging is a technique involving the mounting of small lightweight video cameras and\/or other data-gathering devices onto the bodies of wild animals. The systems then allow researchers to observe various aspects of that animal’s life, such as its behaviors and social<\/a> interactions, with minimal disturbance.<\/p>\n

However, the considerable battery life required for these high-cost bio-logging systems has proven limiting so far. “Since bio-loggers attached to small animals have to be small and lightweight, they have short runtimes and it was therefore difficult to record interesting infrequent behaviors,” explains study corresponding author Takuya Maekawa.<\/p>\n

“We have developed a new AI-equipped bio-logging device that allows us to automatically detect and record the specific target behaviors of interest based on data from low-cost sensors such as accelerometers and geographic positioning systems (GPS).” The low-cost sensors then limit the use of the high-cost sensors, such as video cameras, to just the periods of time when they are most likely to capture the specific target behavior.<\/p>\n
