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 ...
2024Beyond undulation! Body morphology and sensing components of elongated animals and robots reveal skills to maintain competent locomotion
Locomotion is an essential evolutive innovation of living beings that allows them to colonize and dominate the planet. As diverse as animal morphologies are (living) and were (extinct), their locomotion modalities are also diverse. In particular, animal mo ...
EPFL2023Robots 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 ...
2019Topological principles and developmental algorithms might refine diffusion tractography
Jean-Philippe Thiran, Gabriel Girard, Alessandro Daducci, Maxime Descoteaux, Giorgio Innocenti, Tim Bjørn Dyrby
The identification and reconstruction of axonal pathways in the living brain or “ex-vivo” is promising a revolution in connectivity studies bridging the gap from animal to human neuroanatomy with extensions to brain structural–functional correlates. Unfort ...
2019Latency to Reward Predicts Social Dominance in Rats: A Causal Role for the Dopaminergic Mesolimbic System
Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Simone Astori, Ioannis Zalachoras, Laura Lozano Montes, Sonia Abad Florensa
Reward signals encoded in the mesolimbic dopaminergic system guide approach/seeking behaviors to all varieties of life-supporting stimuli (rewards). Differences in dopamine (DA) levels have been found between dominant and submissive animals. However, it is ...
2019Active apolar doping determines routes to colloidal clusters and gels
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 ...
2018Designing 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 ...
