TTD Evaluates AI-Powered Robotic Dogs for Wildlife Monitoring Near Tirumala Temple
The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) is evaluating the deployment of AI-powered robotic dogs to monitor wildlife movement and enhance pilgrim safety in the forested areas around Tirumala. Equipped with 360-degree LiDAR, optical and thermal cameras, and multiple sensors, these robots can detect and classify animals, humans, and vehicles even in low visibility. They provide real-time geo-tagged alerts and live video feeds to authorities, aiding rapid response and reducing human-wildlife conflicts along key pilgrimage routes like the Alipiri-Tirumala footpath.
