Digital surveillance of animals and nature recovery

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Digital surveillance technologies (DSTs) are widely applied in nature recovery for their potential to generate novel data on species and ecosystems through digital tracking, automation (e.g. from hazardous locations) and from newly recruited citizen scientists.

Research on folding suspension of multi-constrained rover based on the variation and fusion of rods and pairs

International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2017
Planetary rovers with folding functions can solve the contradiction between the limited space of the vehicle and the functional diversity of the rover and greatly improve the efficiency–cost ratio of space launch activities.

Hexapod Locomotion Across Structured and Unstructured Terrains: A Data‐Driven Review of Modeling, Control, and Validation

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The design of a hexapod is complex and requires integration between kinematic models, control systems, and sensing. Existing literature has reviewed these sub‐systems in isolation. Since 2021, there has been no review of the field despite significant advancements in soft soil, lunar traversal, and artificial intelligence.

State Analysis and Emergency Control of Planetary Rover with Faulty Drive Wheel

Aerospace
Wheel failure is one of the worst problems for a planetary rover working on Mars or the Moon, which may lead to the interruption of the exploration mission and even the loss of mobility. In this study, a driving test of a planetary rover prototype with a

Visual Prediction of Rover Slip: Learning Algorithms and Field Experiments [PDF]

, 2008
Perception of the surrounding environment is an essential tool for intelligent navigation in any autonomous vehicle. In the context of Mars exploration, there is a strong motivation to enhance the perception of the rovers beyond geometry-based obstacle ...

The Application of Autonomous Fixed‐Wing Drones in the Sub‐Antarctic Operating Beyond Visual Line of Sight to Enable Large Area, Multi‐Species Population Monitoring in a Changing Environment

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Autonomous fixed‐wing drones operating beyond visual line of sight of the pilot were used to conduct the first aerial, multi‐species baseline reference survey at the sub‐Antarctic island of South Georgia. Long‐term population monitoring in this remote, challenging environment has historically proved difficult, with terrestrial monitoring generally ...

Exploring Drivers and Mitigation Strategies for Food Manufacturing Wastes in the Circular Economy Using Rich Pictures

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aims to identify the main types, drivers, and solutions for food loss and waste (FLW) as reported by stakeholders within the UK food manufacturing sector from a Circular Economy perspective. Based on insights from diagramming‐based workshops involving 35 participants working in an organisation in the sector, FLW occurs primarily as ...

Panoramic camera tracking on planetary rovers using feedforward control

International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2017
Future rover missions will be enhanced with the opportunistic search of salient targets during the planetary traverse phase. An essential component of the search is the locating and tracking of targets at the camera control level. The rover visual system

Habitat selection of moose in Sweden in managed boreal forests with Pinus contorta and P. sylvestris

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Human land use can take advantage of using exotic species to increase financial benefits. However, the use of exotic tree species might affect ecosystem functioning, potentially including the habitat use and movement behaviour of animals, modifying their ecological impact, and interactions with human land use.
