Robocow
What do you think, how are the cows grazing in a century and robotics cybernetization anything and everything?
If you are presented with some Mechanoids stun instead of the traditional whip, then you are mistaken. Do not think that way, comrades. There are other ways to proximity effects :)
USDA (Unated States Department of Agriculture) and MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) have jointly developed a system for monitoring and traffic control individual cow, based on iPod-e, complete with cow ears adapted to a stereo headset. SowPod has several advantages over conventional shepherd: feed by solar energy, has a complex WiFi and GPS, and even equipped with a magnetometer and an accelerometer to record the coordinates of the animal and its orientation to the cardinal, that is the course.
CowPod governs cows the old carrot and stick method. If the cows never leave the field, cowPods is familiar cowboy songs cows, the cows are, apparently, are more positive than men. As soon as the cow approaches the boundary of the site, some GPS, cowPods begins to play a more or less annoying music in one ear and sends it back to pasture, if necessary, gently (!) Stimulating an animal an electric shock.
The whole system is un-American a well thought out. Will all the cows to respond adequately to the same sounds, and if they do allow the wearing of headphones - while the issue. Most likely, there is still serious and costly research to find out whether all the cows to graze like the music in the style of country music as they like to be milked by Mozart.
