Robocow
What do you think, how cows are grazing cybernetisation century and robotics all and sundry?
If you are presented with some mechano-IDA stun instead of the traditional whip, you'd be wrong. 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 herdsman feeds from 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 upravlet cows old carrot and stick method. If 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 more or less annoying music in one ear and sends it back to the place of pasture, if necessary, gently (!) Stimulating the animal an electric shock.
The whole system is un-American a well thought out. Will all cows alike react to sounds and they generally tolerate wearing headphones - until the matter. Most likely, there is still serious and costly research to find out whether all the cows to graze like a country music as they like to be milked by Mozart.
