Group coordination, decision-making and collective sensing – and a new
Lendület
research group

Kivonatos ismertetés:
Recent technological developments allow studying group behaviour in
unprecedented
details and on a variety of spatial and temporal scales. New analytical
methods
are needed to understand the huge datasets produced by these measurements.
During the talk, I would like to guide the audience through my past and current research providing insight into different quantitative tools and the fascinating results related to group coordination, decision-making and collective sensing in groups of pigeons, rats, dogs, storks and humans. In the second half, I will
outline my plans and the line of research of the Collective Behaviour Lendület Research Group which will start in December 2019. The research will mainly, but not exclusively concentrate on collective migration and more specifically, the collective thermal soaring of birds. The topic is highly multidisciplinary,
thus the goals are twofold: (1) To get biological insight into the collective aspects of wild birds’ thermalling by using high resolution measurements from autonomous soaring drone(s) flying near them; (2) To provide bio-inspiration and a solution that uses information from animals for such robotic system. We are aiming for a realization of highly efficient autonomous thermalling drones, with enormous potential in applications (wildlife monitoring, search and rescue, etc.).
