2022 journal article

Forabot: Automated Planktic Foraminifera Isolation and Imaging

GEOCHEMISTRY GEOPHYSICS GEOSYSTEMS, 23(12).

By: T. Richmond n, J. Cole n, G. Dangler n, M. Daniele n, T. Marchitto* & E. Lobaton n

author keywords: foraminifera; automation; classification
topics (OpenAlex): Genomics and Phylogenetic Studies; Image Processing and 3D Reconstruction; Species Distribution and Climate Change
TL;DR: The presented work describes Forabot, an open‐source system which can physically manipulate individual foraminifera for imaging and isolation with minimal human interaction, and is able to be built by researchers for a low cost, effectively manipulate foram with few mistakes, provide quality images for future research, and classify the species of imaged forams.

2021 article

Simultaneous Localization of Biobotic Insects using Inertial Data and Encounter Information

2021 43RD ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF THE IEEE ENGINEERING IN MEDICINE & BIOLOGY SOCIETY (EMBC), pp. 4649–4653.

By: J. Cole n, A. Bozkurt n & E. Lobaton n

MeSH headings : Animals; Cockroaches; Disasters; Insecta; Locomotion
topics (OpenAlex): Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior; Animal Vocal Communication and Behavior; Neurobiology and Insect Physiology Research
TL;DR: An inertial navigation system based on machine learning modules that is capable of localizing groups of G. portentosa carrying thorax-mounted inertial measurement units and uses the agents’ encounters with one another as signals of opportunity to increase tracking accuracy is presented.

2014 conference paper

Poster abstract: Cyborg-insect networks for mapping of unknown environments

2014 acm/ieee international conference on cyber-physical systems (iccps), 216–216.

By: A. Dirafzoon n, J. Bethhauser n, J. Schornick n, J. Cole n, A. Bozkurt n & E. Lobaton n

topics (OpenAlex): Topological and Geometric Data Analysis; Slime Mold and Myxomycetes Research; Opportunistic and Delay-Tolerant Networks
TL;DR: This work proposes a robust approach to obtain a topological map of an unknown environment using the coordinate free sensory data obtained from these cyborg-insect networks, and takes advantage of the natural behavior of insects in order to estimate aTopological model of the environment based only on neighbor-to-neighbor interactions.
