Development of hyper compact and lightweight data logger separator for wild animals

Abstract

In the research of animal ecology, there is a method of attaching a compact data logger (hereinafter logger) to an animal and recording the behavior, physiological state of the animal itself, environment to be experienced, serial data with some time period, and so on.This method is called Bio-logging. Currently, navigational research to capture the movement of sea birds is conducted by Bio-logging. However, capturing the same wild animals twice is more difficult than attaching loggers. Increasing the recovery efficiency of precious and expensive loggers from sea birds is an urgent issue. In this paper, we describe the development of a hyper compact and lightweight data logger separator without explosion. In addition, we made a separation mechanism that can adapt to the living environment and behavior of wild animals.
