A University of South Australia PhD student can now add ‘world first’ to her CV after collaborating with global cinematographer Douglas Thron to accurately measure heart and breathing rates of African wildlife filmed with a drone.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (MML) technologies that monitor soil quality and fertility utilize different algorithms for analysis.

It’s a boy! In new research from the Australian National University, swift parrot mothers are choosing to hatch their sons earlier than their daughters, meaning they end up with more male offspring. This might seem surprising, because there are fewer female swift parrots than males, but it is actually a clever way of spreading genes. Female swift parrots in Tasmania often get killed and eaten by invasive sugar gliders when they are looking after eggs, but the males don’t. The mother parrots...

Look to dragonflies for better drones Flapping-wing drones are likely to look more and more like insects as their performance increase, according to researchers at the University of South Australia who have made a detailed study of dragonfly flight to improve the design of drones. “Dragonflies are supremely efficient in all areas of flying,” said UniSA professor Javaan Chahl. “They can turn quickly at high speeds and take off while carrying more than three times their own body weight. The...

Modern Drones Could Mimic 300-Million-Year-Old Dragonflies Written by AZoRoboticsApr 28 2021 Scientists from the University of South Australia drew inspiration from a 300-million-year-old flying machine—the dragonfly—to illustrate why future flapping-wing drones will perhaps look like the insect in wings, shape, and gearing.

Prototype of a dragonfly-inspired drone University of South Australia researchers have drawn inspiration from a 300-million-year-old superior flying machine – the dragonfly – to show why future flapping wing drones will probably resemble the insect in shape, wings and gearing. A team of PhD students led by UniSA Professor of Sensor Systems, Javaan Chahl, spent part of the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown designing and testing key parts of a dragonfly-inspired drone that might match the insect’s ext...

New technique to monitor soil moisture developed March 17th, 2021 Researchers at The University of South Australia have developed a cost-effective new technique to monitor soil moisture using a standard digital camera and machine learning technology. The United Nations predicts that by 2050 many areas of the planet may not have enough fresh water to meet the demands of agriculture if we continue our current patterns of use. One solution to this global dilemma is the development of more efficien...
