AI-Powered Bio-Logger Captures Rare Behaviors of Seabirds
- A bio-logger with AI was used to capture rare behaviors of streaked shearwaters without researcher supervision
- The AI detected rare events from sensor data and automatically triggered video recording
- The bio-logger recorded unusual head shaking behaviors at takeoff and 50 mins of rare fish foraging footage
- The lightweight bio-logger had little impact on the birds (<5% body weight)
- AI-enabled bio-loggers could reveal rare behaviors of many species like mating rituals or hunting strategies
