Mapping the stereotyped behaviour of freely-moving fruit flies
Most animals possess the ability to actuate a vast diversity of movements, ostensibly constrained only by morphology and physics. In practice, however, a frequent assumption in behavioral science is that most of an animal's activities can be described in terms of a small set of stereotyped motifs. Here we introduce a method for mapping the behavioral space of organisms, relying only upon the underlying structure of postural movement data to organize and classify behaviors. We find that six different drosophilid species each perform a mix of non-stereotyped actions and over one hundred hierarchically-organized, stereotyped behaviors. Moreover, we use this approach to compare these species' behavioral spaces, systematically identifying subtle behavioral differences between closely-related species.

Unsupervised Videographic Analysis of Rodent Behaviour
Animal behaviour is complex and the amount of data in the form of video, if extracted, is copious. Manual analysis of behaviour is massively limited by two insurmountable obstacles, the complexity of the behavioural patt…
NBV-SC: Next Best View Planning based on Shape Completion for Fruit Mapping and Reconstruction
Active perception for fruit mapping and harvesting is a difficult task since occlusions occur frequently and the location as well as size of fruits change over time. State-of-the-art viewpoint planning approaches utilize…

We revisit the self-ownership viewpoint to regulate the utilisation of common property resources. Allocating to each agent "the fruit of their own labor" is typically ill-depned, so we look for tight approximations of th…
