Predicting the long-term collective behaviour of fish pairs with deep learning

Francesco Mondada, Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Vaios Papaspyros

Modern computing has enhanced our understanding of how social interactions shape collective behaviour in animal societies. Although analytical models dominate in studying collective behaviour, this study introduces a deep learning model to assess social in ...

A Framework for Autonomic Computing for In Situ Imageomics

Nina Marion Aurélia Van Tiel

In situ imageomics is a new approach to study ecological, biological and evolutionary systems wherein large image and video data sets are captured in the wild and machine learning methods are used to infer biological traits of individual organisms, animal ...

Metal-organic framework-based hydrogel with structurally dynamic properties as a stimuli-responsive localized drug delivery system for cancer therapy

Dou Du, Xiaoxiao He, Can Zhang

Metal-organic framework (MOF) is an exciting class of porous biomaterials that have been considered as a carrier to store and deliver therapeutic drugs. However, similar to other nanomaterials, the application of MOF in clinical settings is still limited b ...

Robots mediating interactions between animals for interspecies collective behaviors

Francesco Mondada, Robert Matthew Mills, Frank Bonnet, Martina Szopek

Self-organized collective behavior has been analyzed in diverse types of gregarious animals. Such collective intelligence emerges from the synergy between individuals, which behave at their own time and spatial scales and without global rules. Recently, ro ...

Social network plasticity decreases disease transmission in a eusocial insect

Alessandro Crespi, Laurent Keller

Animal social networks are shaped by multiple selection pressures, including the need to ensure efficient communication and functioning while simultaneously limiting disease transmission. Social animals could potentially further reduce epidemic risk by alt ...

Active apolar doping determines routes to colloidal clusters and gels

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

Collections of interacting active particles, self-propelling or not, have shown remarkable phenomena including the emergence of dynamic patterns across different length scales, from animal groups to vibrated grains, microtubules, bacteria, and chemicalor f ...

Designing a socially integrated mobile robot for ethological research

Francesco Mondada, Alexey Gribovskiy, Jean-Louis Deneubourg

A robot introduced into an animal group, accepted by the animals as conspecifics, and capable of interacting with them is an ecient tool for ethological research, particularly in studies of collective and social behaviour. In this paper, we present the imp ...

Stress-Induced Depression: Is Social Rank a Predictive Risk Factor?

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Thomas Didier Larrieu

An intriguing question in the field of stress is what makes an individual more likely to be susceptible or resilient to stress‐induced depression. Predisposition to stress susceptibility is believed to be influenced by genetic factors and early adversity. ...

Brain metabolism during Chronic Hepatic Encephalopathy studied by in vivo 1H and 31P MRS

Veronika Rackayová

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a powerful tool increasingly used in biomedical research and also in clinical practice. This thesis focused on the improvements of in vivo 31P MRS and 31P magnetization transfer methods at high magnetic field (9.4T ...

Automated Calibration of a Biomimetic Space-Dependent Model for Zebrafish and Robot Collective Behaviour in a Structured Environment

Francesco Mondada, Alexey Gribovskiy, Frank Bonnet

Bio-hybrid systems made of robots and animals can be useful tools both for biology and robotics. To socially integrate robots into animal groups the robots should behave in a biomimetic manner with close loop interactions between robots and animals. Behavi ...
