Researchers in Australia have developed WomBot, a robot that can be used to explore and study environmental conditions within wombat burrows.

The team hopes to provide a solution for reducing the spread of sarcoptic mange, a serious disease that affects wombats due to parasitic mites. The mites are thought to be transmitted when wombats move every four to ten days to occupy a different burrow.
Published in the journal
SN Applied Sciences, the new study from La Trobe University and the University of Tasmania describes how the WomBot has been utilised to study whether environmental conditions within burrows promote sarcoptic mange transmission. ....

Scientists are employing rays with pingers to help map the seafloor

A fleet of drone vessels that autonomously scans the seafloor using multi-beam sonars, or aerial platforms bouncing sonar signals off submerged objects might contribute to a greater understanding of what lies beneath, but an armada of rays equipped with ultrasonic hardware could be enlisted to fortify the effort.
Electric rays and stingrays are benthic animals, meaning that they spend most of their time swimming around the ocean floor in deep places, explains lead study author Yo Tanaka, from the Japanese scientific institute Riken. By combining simple pinger technology and digital cameras with this natural behavior, we think we can use rays to map the ocean floor, and at the same time collect meaningful data about ocean wildlife, biota, and resources. ....

Stingrays demonstrate mapping potential as they skim the seafloor


Stingrays demonstrate mapping potential as they skim the seafloor

While we re pretty well across the topography of the Earth s surface, understanding that of the ocean floor is a whole other ball game. It is said that we know more about the surface of Mars than the seafloor, and scientists are developing all sorts of technologies to help us fill in the blanks. Among them is a new technique that uses deep-dwelling rays to survey the seabed for us, and possibly even power the required hardware themselves.
Something like 80 percent of the ocean remains unmapped as of today, so there is considerable interest in expanding our understanding of what lies beneath the water s surface. Unmanned vessels that autonomously map the seafloor with multi-beam sonars, or airborne platforms that bounce sonar signals off underwater objects could form part of the solution, as could rays fitted with the appropriate hardware. ....
