Steinbeis Transfer Center Biomechatronics

Services

  • Analysis of heat distribution with small mammals and their environment using thermography
  • Habitat analysis and the measurement of micro-climates (absolute temperature, relative humidity, brightness)
  • Movement analysis with animals using high-speed image capturing
  • Visualization of fast processes and analysis of movement patterns
  • Movement profiles in the world of wildlife, birds, and insects
  • Studies on the movement of insects, transferring insights to the movement of technical devices

Key Areas

  • Support with the measurement of field data using automated measuring equipment
  • Collection of sensor data involving small mammals such as the weight of animals and hair samples for genetic tests
  • Automated collection of urine and stool samples for identifying animals
  • Audio, image, and video recordings of animals (day/night)
  • Habitat analysis and the measurement of micro-climates (absolute temperature, relative humidity, brightness)
  • Analysis of heat distribution with small mammals and their environment using thermography
  • Movement analysis in biological settings using high-speed images

Project Examples
