Overview  

Boombox is an Automated Behavioral Response (ABR) platform designed for playback experiments in conservation research and wildlife management. It combines programmable audio playback with cameras, and external actuators to deliver stimuli in response to camera trap triggers, internal timers, or other sensors. Boombox enables controlled playback experiments, deterrence trials, and animal behavioral studies without continuous human presence. Built for harsh outdoor environments, it emphasizes low power operation and modular hardware, allowing researchers to deploy repeatable, scalable experiments that generate rigorous behavioral data while minimizing disturbance to wildlife and field effort.
