Just learned about sage grouse lekking behavior from @RyaneLogsdon. Her life-like fembots (named Salt and Peppa!) make #robocheetah look like a poorly-made puppet …which of course it is.

#ROBOCHEETAH IS BACK https://t.co/dkEGjbTfDl
These past two days we’ve been testing whether #robocheetah might serve as a suitable predator-like disturbance for the ungulate groups we are filming for our research. So far the results have been hilarious, but not promising.
@BlairRCostelloe @DaniRabaiotti @AnneWHilborn has said that young cheetah are kind of crap at hunting. #robocheetah is more realistic than intended
We’re not giving up quite yet but it’s possible that #robocheetah is heading toward a well-earned retirement.
Today #robocheetah was barreling toward some impala when it fell fully into a warthog hole (📸). After being freed, the now-lopsided #robocheetah ran over its own pelt, again prematurely ending its hunt.
Impala were bewildered but not alarmed.

Yesterday a wheel got jammed leading to #robocheetah performing 3 or 4 donuts followed by a sick wheelie, and ultimately coming to rest well short of its target group of perplexed zebras.

Throwback to PhD-style fieldwork today: driving my dissertation advisor’s green Suzuki, #robocheetah riding shotgun.

Not sure what I love most about #Robocheetah ; her boundless enthusiasm despite being observed by half the herd, or simply that fantastic tail. https://t.co/W9aapXskvO
@Steph_ODonnell #robocheetah may have a part to play, but generally I’m going more…airborne*… this time around

@WILDLABSNET I’m leaving for Kenya tomorrow(!) for fieldwork. #Robocheetah will help me study group-level dynamics of predator detection
#Robocheetah shall soon ride again! Stay tuned, folks! https://t.co/7JQhgEL86G
#tech4wildlife Photo Challenge 2016: Coming in third (and it was close!) is @BlairRCostelloe with #robotcheetah

Still thoroughly enjoying @BlairRCostelloe on @biotweeps. Today: #robocheetah and tracking movement with drones https://t.co/fcFd8SUN9j
We are still brainstorming & will try a few things, but one possibility is…#robocheetah
#collective
#tracking
My husband @mikecostelloe wears many hats. One of those hats is #robocheetah mechanic. Not his favorite hat, apparently. https://t.co/XaTnOm2xZ3
#Robocheetah struggles mightily w/ tall grass though, so there are def limitations to this appraoch
Key feature of #robocheetah is mobility. We can control speed of stimulus & stop once an animal sees it. Animal will stare but not run.
#Robocheetah is a surprisingly effective “predator” stimulus! Gazelle reactmore strongly to robocheetah than to control/sidekick #monkeybot
