AI on Animals: Transforming Bio-logging Methods with AI

Bio-logging allows us to observe many aspects of animals' lives. We have developed AI-enabled bio-loggers, enabling to efficiently capture various behaviors of wild animals. 

Please refer to the following paper about the developed logger:

Development of the loggers and fieldwork were performed by a research group of Takuya Maekawa @ Osaka University (http://www-mmde.ist.osaka-u.ac.jp/~maekawa/index-e.html) and Ken Yoda @ Nagoya University. 

[Note] Bio-logging is a new research method to observe animals' behaviors using small data loggers attached to the animals. When conducting biologging studies, we adjust the weight and size of the logger to minimize the impact on the animals. We also measure the stress level of animals by the heart rate.
