The Project Cetacean Translation Initiative (CETI) aims to understand the acoustic language systems of sperm whales.
Collaboration with researchers from multiple robotics departments at Harvard University has led to the development of AI-based recording systems and an AI enhanced predictive algorithm for tracking whales.
The AVATARS framework, using drones, successfully predicted whale surfacing 80% of the time with tags and 69% of the time without tags.
Advancements in drone technology offer potential for better understanding and conservation of whale species and marine ecosystems.
