Our master student Jakob Mischek just finished his work on our tracking system which just got way better. Check out the video and his thesis (in German). The new system was made possible by an improved upstream process, the detection and decoding… Continue Reading
Our team member Leon Sixt has developed a new image processing component for the decoding of bee markers. The method is based on convolutional neural networks, the current state of the art in computer vision. ConvNets are awesome, however, they need… Continue Reading
Get a drink and a bowl of popcorn. As of now you can watch our bees live! We are launching a new website featuring a live preview of our honeybee colony full of individually marked bees. Check back regularly, we… Continue Reading
Our new paper “RoboFish: increased acceptance of interactive robotic fish with realistic eyes and natural motion patterns by live Trinidadian guppies” just got published in Bioinspiration and Biomimetics!
The german radio channel “Die Durchblicker” has interviewed David researching on fish personality using the Robofish-System. The german article can be viewed here: Fische mit Persönlichkeit – Verhaltensforschung mit Guppys
Fernando gave a talk on our BeesBook project at the 1st Biotech Convention in Hamburg!
Tim gave a talk on how to combine current knowledge on biological swarms and autonomous cars at a TTI/Vanguard conference (“Collaboration and the Workplace of the Future”) in Washington D.C. Check out the Flickr album of the event.
We just published the first tracking system for honeybee colonies in Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution. Thanks to the HLRN for generous support with storage and computing resources!
The Audi Urban Future Initiative published the first part of an interview on the impact of swarm intelligence on the efficiency of future mobility concepts. Read more here.
