Particle data analysis of Robo-dot like structures is under way !

With the help of specialist scientific software all kinds of data can be taken from samples.

Plot data of track displacement vs speed.

I have been having lots of fun with the guys exploring particle data from recent samples. It is amazing what kind of data are now available using advanced analytical software. Particle speeds, path changes, size changes, direction, displacement, and so much more. Understanding it all clearly, calibrating the criteria to see relevant patterns and information will take a bit more work. But so far the results are promising and initial tests have shown already shown that these particles are not following natural particle behaviour expected from things like floating dust particles. See below a large scale 10x microscopy video of dots taken from recent swab samples that were flying outside of the sample application area.

As we can see above the paths have been mapped very nicely. The data being shown here speed change of particles. Note that in this example no actual relevant speed data has yet been taken due to complex calibrations being needed to ensure the figures are correct. A much more expensive camera is needed to help here for accuracy purposes. How ever even at this stage we can see very odd speed alterations which do not show consistent with other local particles. Another fantastic thing we can see the very clear pathway taken by some particles which are absolutely moving in a very suspicious way. These particles do not appear to be moving by chance. The motion of some of these particles if you watch with a keen eye is such that one might quickly assume they are robotic or at least be controlled in some way via some means.

The above video is where we extracted the sample video for analysis. These are videos from the previous swab sampling articles.

(Please ignore the Trial watermark in the particle AVI, I had trouble getting the license for the software which converts codecs into science ready 4D sample files. The app designer has disappeared from the web and it was one of the only sources I could find which does the job. This is being sorted and doesn’t affect our initial use too much for now. If you designed this app then please let us know how to obtain a full version, Thank you).

Look forward to some rather interesting and very compelling results in the very near future, for now we can see the potential of this type of analysis and some very revealing initial findings simply from the test run here.
