SocialScan, powered by CleverSys’ advanced AI and computer vision technology, offers a fully automated solution for studying complex social behaviors in rodents. Using sophisticated computer vision algorithms, SocialScan continuously tracks and identifies animals in real time—detecting posture, movement, and interactions with high spatial and temporal precision.

Enhanced with RFID-assisted tracking, SocialScan can accurately distinguish individual animals within group-housed settings, even when they overlap or interact closely. This integration allows researchers to analyze detailed social metrics such as approach, avoidance, aggression, partner preference, and cooperative behaviors—all without experimenter interference.
