Difficulties when using video playback to investigate social cognition in California scrub-jays (Aphelocoma californica) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Previous research has suggested that videos can be used to experimentally manipulate social stimuli. In the present study, we used the California scrub-jays’ cache protection strategies to assess whether video playback can be used to simulate ...

Directional speakers as a tool for animal vocal communication studies
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Audio playbacks are a common experimental tool in vocal communication research. However, low directionality of sound makes it hard to control the audience exposed to the stimuli.

Female song and vocal interactions with males in a Neotropical wren
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2015 Bird song is thought to function primarily in same-sex competition, mate attraction, and reproductive stimulation of a partner. However, these conclusions are based largely on studies of the song of male birds in north-temperate species.

Mutual mother‐pup acoustic identification in Asian particolored bats
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 In many vertebrates, vocal communication is crucial in parent–offspring interactions, and parents are often able to discriminate between the calls of their own and others' offspring.

Antiphonal call timing in marmosets is behaviorally significant: interactive playback experiments [PDF]
Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2009 Studies of primate vocal communication systems have generally focused on vocalizations and the information they convey to conspecifics. But the vocalizations are not the only sources of information. Aspects of each species vocal behaviors are likely to be communicatively rich as well.

White-handed gibbons discriminate context-specific song compositions [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 White-handed gibbons produce loud and acoustically complex songs when interacting with their neighbours or when encountering predators. In both contexts, songs are assembled from a small number of units although their composition differs in context ...

LLM‐Integrated Human–Robot Interaction System for Microrobots
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This paper proposes an LLM‐based control framework for guiding microrobots using human natural language. This framework can convert the natural human speech into safe and executable command sets for reliable navigation in complex environments. The experimental results show high accuracy and robustness in task performance, demonstrating the potential of

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This work presents the MicroRoboScope, a highly integrated, compact, and portable microrobotic experimentation platform combining electromagnetic and acoustic actuation with real‐time visual feedback into a single, end‐to‐end device. The system enables closed‐loop control and tracking algorithm experimentation within an accessible and unified hardware ...
