Of The Wild ( ) : A Robotic Wolf Pack
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wolves are natural hunters. Their ability to hunt in a pack presents an effective model for controlling the motion of multiple robots. In particular, this is highly useful in the field of swarm robotics, where numerous agents act together to produce a collective behavior. This thesis investigates and implements a physical wolf pack in order to create emergent swarm hunting behaviors. These are especially useful for pursuit and evasion tasks in the field of robotics.

Surgical repair of distal femoral fracture in a wild gray wolf (Canis lupus)
A 3-year-old wild gray wolf was referred to the Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences of ShirazUniversity with a history of car accident. The radiographic examination showed supracondylar distal femoralfracture in right leg. The wolf was pre-medicated by acepromazine followed by induction of anesthesia usinga combination of diazepam and ketamine. Anesthesia was maintained by halothane. The...
متن کاملSheep and Wolves—Testbed for Interaction and Collaboration between Humans and Robots
This paper presents the first prototype of Sheep and Wolves, a system for testing interaction and collaboration paradigms between humans and robots. The paper contributions are twofold: a mixed reality interface for human-robot interaction, and a practical experimental tool for assessing how different robotic behavioral patterns affect interaction and collaboration with users. Sheep and Wolves ...
متن کاملA fresh look at the wolf-pack theory of companion-animal dog social behavior.
A popular perspective on the social behavior of dogs in multiple-dog households sees the dogs' behavior as reflecting the sociobiological laws of the rigidly structured dominance hierarchy that has been described for wolf packs. This view suggests that aggression problems among dogs are natural expressions of conflict that arise whenever dominance status is in contention. One recommended soluti...
متن کاملCamera Traps on Wildlife Crossing Structures as a Tool in Gray Wolf (Canis lupus) Management - Five-Years Monitoring of Wolf Abundance Trends in Croatia
The conservation of gray wolf (Canis lupus) and its coexistence with humans presents a challenge and requires continuous monitoring and management efforts. One of the non-invasive methods that produces high-quality wolf monitoring datasets is camera trapping. We present a novel monitoring approach where camera traps are positioned on wildlife crossing structures that channel the animals, thereb...
متن کاملSurveying Predicted Rendezvous Sites to Monitor Gray Wolf Populations
We used rendezvous site locations of wolf (Canis lupus) packs recorded during 1996–2006 to build a predictive model of gray wolf rendezvous site habitat in Idaho, USA. Variables in our best model included green leaf biomass (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), surface roughness, and profile curvature, indicating that wolves consistently used wet meadow complexes for rendezvous sites. We th...
