Recent work has shown bird navigation is impacted by megahertz frequencies, the the investigation of the impacts of possible RF pollution is a concern. Honeybees are one of the few species which have been shown to have electromagnetic detection mechanisms sensitive enough to navigate using the Earth&#8217;s magnetic field. This project has two parts: First, we will build basic AM and FM radios directly using simple coils. These will be deployed at Rutgers\u2019 horticulture farm next to their beehives in specialized feeders connected to web-cameras, where the bees must pass through the RF fields to get the food. The second task of this project is to develop computer vision and machine learning software to analyze the resulting videos to characterize the bees\u2019 behavioural responses to the RF fields in the feeders.<\/td><td>OS: Linux, Embedded programming<br \/>Software: C\/C++, Python<\/td><\/tr><tr valign=\"top\"><td><b>Smart City Traffic Simulator<\/b>: Work on virtual reality smart city environment using Unity.
