RatMote has been developed for project RatPack, which aims at creating a new method for behavioral research on rats in their natural environment using wireless sensor nodes. Recent development in microcontroller architecture allowed us to design a sensor node which calculates up to 22 times more operations per mAh than the widely used TelosB node. This significant performance and efficiency increase allows us to perform computationally demanding algorithms inside the node, needed for vocalization analysis, localization, and mapping.

Pervasive computing puts us in the novel position to gain live views. In this paper we present BurrowView, an application that tracks the movement of rats in their natural habitat and reconstructs the underground tunnel system. To make reliable statements, special consideration has been taken with regard to the information quality. Our system is able to reconstruct paths up to a resolution of 20 cm, the length of a rat without its tail.

We exploit the lightweight and egocentric scheme of SimBet routing while at the same time taking the strength and the gradual aging of social relations into account and thereby increase the performance by one order of magnitude, especially in evolving network structures. We explore the model of similarity and betweenness over weighted graphs, and present a simulation on realistic traces from previous experiments, comparing our approach to the original SimBet, Epidemic Routing and Prophet.

The space and weight constraints resulting from the size of the animals have led to simple but functional approaches for vocalization classification and position estimation. For the resulting data we have developed novel, delay-tolerant routing and collection strategies. These are expected to be used in a sparse, dynamic network resulting from various rats being tagged with our nodes and running around freely - an area that will eventually be too big to be covered solely by stationary data sinks. Furthermore, the system is designed to extract information on the social interactions between animals from the routing data. It currently works in an indoor environment and we are preparing it for tests in a controlled outdoor setup.

For this purpose we are using wireless sensor networks, monitoring various quantities that yield important information to complement current knowledge on the behavioral repertoire of rats. So far, on the sensing and processing side we have developed innovative, minimalist approaches pointing in two directions: vocalization analysis and movement tracking. On the data collection and routing side we have adapted to the known burrowing habits of rats by developing new methods for synchronization and data aggregation under the paradigm of sporadic connectivity in a sparse, dynamic network.

The main challenge with respect to communication is the sparse and very dynamic network determined by the burrow dwelling behavior of rats, which makes delay tolerant data transmission schemes a necessity. The physical and computional restrictions in embedded devices make routing an interesting challenge for which we are currently developing new strategies. ratpack fileadmin/papers/2008/2008-08-Bitsch-SIGCOMM08-RatPack.pdf http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2008/posters.php http://www.worldcat.org/title/sigcomm-08-proceedings-of-the-2008-sigcomm-conference-and-co-located-workshops-nsdr08-wosn08-mobiarch08-netecon08-presto08-seattle-wa-usa-august-17-22-2008/oclc/300481768 Online ACM

To study this behaviour, we will resort to the use of wireless sensor networks, monitoring various quantities that yield important information to complement current knowledge on the behavioural repertoire of rats. The challenges we face include data acquisition and processing on the one hand, as rat-borne sensor nodes will need to be small enough not to interfere with the rats' own activities, thus limiting the available memory and processing capabilities. Additionally, rats spend a significant amount of time underground, making data transmission and routing a very interesting challenge, for which we are currently developing novel strategies.
