  • Patent number: 12274243
    Abstract: Computer controlled systems and methods of an automated homecage monitoring system predict a state of an animal and of its homecage. The prediction of the state of the animal may be based on a pose estimate of the animal, and at least one sensor input from an at least one sensor. The pose estimate may include a graph of connected nodes, the nodes representing coordinates of the sensor input corresponding to predicted indicia on the animal's body. The animal state may include a behavioral state of an animal, a social state of an animal, a position state of an animal, a sleep state of an animal, and a biological state of an animal. The automated homecage monitoring system may allow for animal state data to be reported for an animal or animals in situ.
