Empirical PhD The empirical PhD candidate will focus on the use of the RoboFalcons for understanding predator-flock interactions. The RoboFalcons provide a unique opportunity to study predator-prey interactions in real time through a camera on the back of a RoboFalcon that films the prey. While investigating RoboFalcons during attack of bird flocks at airbases, the empirical- PhD candidate will: - analyze empirical data of collective escapes related to attacks by RoboFalcons on flocks at […]
