An Economical Custom-Built Drone for Assessing Whale Health
Drones or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles’ (UAVs) have huge potential to improve the safety and efficiency of sample collection from wild animals under logistically challenging circumstances. Here we present a method for surveying population health that uses UAVs to sample respiratory vapor, ‘whale blow,’ exhaled by free-swimming humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae), and coupled this with amplific...
متن کاملExtensive Core Microbiome in Drone-Captured Whale Blow Supports a Framework for Health Monitoring
The pulmonary system is a common site for bacterial infections in cetaceans, but very little is known about their respiratory microbiome. We used a small, unmanned hexacopter to collect exhaled breath condensate (blow) from two geographically distinct populations of apparently healthy humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae), sampled in the Massachusetts coastal waters off Cape Cod (n = 17) and...
متن کاملDrone-Type Wall-Climbing Robot Platform for Structural Health Monitoring
Though civil structures need constant maintenance and inspection of the structural health condition and safety of the users, the accessibility is getting harder and harder because of their gigantic height and size. To overcome this problem, several approaches for wall-climbing mechanism have been introduced for many decades; however, there is no assured solution yet. One of the reasons why exis...
