Abstract:

ICARUS, short for 'International Cooperation for Animal Research Using Space', is a global collaboration of animal scientists to establish a satellite based infrastructure for global observation of small objects such as migratory birds, bats, or sea turtles. The tags for icarus are small, lighweight (less than 5gm) and have global coverage. I will present the vision of ICARUS project and the idea of using animals as sensors for our planet (Internet Of Animals). India is home to many long distant migrants and boasts of vast diversity in wildlife. Since, it is a global effort, we at Max Planck want Indian research community to join us from the start. ICARUS is providing us exciting opportunity for cutting edge science in movement and behavior studies. Additionally, it opens doors for understanding and highlighting the direct impact of govt. policies, human development and destruction of flora and fauna. There are various threats facing wildlife in India and around the globe. In order to make the big picture successful we invite involvement from the institutions within India. The support of researchers studying Indian wildlife is crucial for our plans of involving the Indian space agency (ISRO) in near future.

Speaker Bio: 
Hemal Naik is pursuing PhD with Iain Couzin, for developing computer vision and machine learning based technology to track bird postures for studying social behavior. His PhD is in collaboration with Technical University of Munich. He has work experience in computer vision, augmented reality, medical imaging and biomedical engineering. He aims to push research activities related to movement, collective behavior by using advanced technologies, especially in context of Indian wildlife. In summary, a techie trying to fit into the world of interdisciplinary ecology studies.
