This week, robots! Check out our staff picks of currently fundraising projects, featuring little robots that help us do science.
Featured Experiments:
Using high-tech toys to improve foraging in captive rhinos
45% FUNDED ● BIOLOGY
Animal behavior is a rich area of study, but one where technology hasn't yet been introduced. So what happens when you take a high-tech gadget originally designed for house pets, and scale it up for a 3000-pound rhino named Boone? Backers will get an up close look at the science driving the project, or you can check out Boone's personal twitter. Also watch our recent video from our visit with Boone!
Mapping Salmon Spawning Sites with UAVs
34% FUNDED ● ECOLOGY
Salmon in the Pacific Northwest are hard to track when they return to spawn in small, often inaccessible creeks. This team from the University of Washington is developing quadcopter drones with cameras to survey remote spots, above the creeks and below the canopy, to generate better population data for land management and habitat restoration. They promise to share methods, data, and recommendations for doing this at home yourself.
Using aphids to measure electrical outputs in ferns
40% FUNDED ● BIOLOGY
OK, fine, aphids technically aren't robots, but they are small and this researcher is attaching tiny electrodes to aphids. Not much is known about long distance electrical signals in plants, but thanks to the previously successful Azolla Genome Project funded by 123 backers on Experiment, this project will combine physiological measurements with the new genetic data to find the basis for plant signaling.
Measurement of Atmospheric Pollution Profiles using Drones
65% FUNDED ● EARTH SCIENCE
These scientists are attaching sensors to drones to get a 3D sense of the ozone surrounding Detroit. While ozone pollution levels can be measured on the ground, how it behaves and settles at different heights is still unclear, as well as how ozone moves downwind from original sources. Pollution contributes to urban respiratory problems such as asthma, especially as rising temperatures lead to more ozone.
Gamma Ray Bursters
A Gamma Ray Burst or GRB is a flash or Gamma ray associated with extremely energetic explosions and can output as much energy in 10 seconds as the sun will in it's entire 10 billion year life span.
Supernova Remnants
The picture above is the remnants of a supernova witnessed by Sir Isscac Newton in 1667, although the supernova actually accoured about 10,000 years earlier, it's light had only just managed to reach earth. The supernova occured in the Cassiopeia constellation and is the second brightest source of radio waves for us on earth. the different colours represent different elements abundant in those areas. The reds for example are rich in sulfur and the dark blue rich in oxygen.

Planetaries - Cat's Eye
This is Cat's Eye, a star in the 'planetary' stage. this stage can last for up to a few tens of thousands of years, in cosmic terms though, this is a very small space of time and are therefore rare to find, yet still hundreds have been imaged. This stage is reached once a red giant starts to disperse it's outer layers finally becoming a white dwarf.
