Just imagine that you have your mouse, which has received no training. You put it in the cage, close it up and walk away, that is it. The system does all the testing for you, 24/7, with the data put out in near real time so you can run all the analysis that same day.

Article from UK Dementia Research Institute features Smart-Kages: The automated and AI-assisted innovation set to transform animal behaviour experiments. A new company, Cambridge Phenotyping Ltd., aims to tackle several of the common issues plaguing rodent behavioural work, with their novel automated and AI-assisted ‘smart-Kage’ technology.
