See moreWolf-like robots have been installed on farmland, scare off intruders they detect with infrared sensors. This is the "Monster Wolf" developed by a company in Hokkaido. The robot uses strong LED lights and loud warning sounds to scare off wild animals and prevent damage to crops. To prevent intruders from becoming accustomed to its threats, it is equipped with a wide variety of movements and sounds, and videos show examples of deer, monkeys, and bears actually escaping. With the difficulty of patrolling vast areas of farmland, there are high hopes that this robot will not only help prevent bird and animal damage, but also theft by humans. (Dec 2024)
