Many of the robotic systems developed in the past decades are inspired by four-legged (i.e., quadruped) animals, such as dogs, cheetahs and horses. By replicating the agile movements of these animals, ...

Scientists have developed a new method to simulate the complex movements of animals with exceptional accuracy. The research team set out to solve a long-standing challenge in biology—how to accurately ...

For planning animal conservation measures, it is vital to know where endangered species live and how they interact. Ecologists are successfully using tracking technology to learn about the movements ...

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... BUDAPEST, Hungary — Moving in a dense cloud, like throngs of people walking across a crowded public square, 100 drones maneuver through the night sky in ...

A study from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem suggests that tracking animal movement and behavior in near real-time could detect dangerous pathogens. As zoonotic diseases like avian flu and COVID-19 ...

Young African lions (Panthera leo) on the road in Hluhluwe National Park, South Africa. When they leave their mothers, young male lions have to disperse to find new territories. To do this, they ...

Researchers questioned if coordinated group movements by animals moving through a fluid could reduce the energy cost of locomotion. By combining biomechanics and bioenergetics the researchers found ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Animal shelters have come a long way since the days when they were referred to as "kill houses" for homeless and abandoned animals. In 1984, more than 17 million animals were euthanized in shelters ...
