TTD Tests AI-Powered Robotic Dog for Wildlife Monitoring Near Tirumala Temple
The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) is testing an AI-powered quadruped robotic dog to enhance real-time wildlife monitoring and improve devotee safety in forest areas around Tirumala. Equipped with optical and thermal cameras, 360-degree LiDAR, and multiple sensors, the robot can detect and classify wildlife, humans, and vehicles even in low visibility. It sends geo-tagged alerts and live feeds to control rooms for rapid response. The robot aims to complement existing surveillance methods and may use sound and light to deter animals, reducing human-wildlife encounters.
