Autonomous drones may be the ultimate scarecrows … for pigeons

Posted on January 25, 2022 by Ben Coxworth

Much as we may like pigeons, they can make quite a mess of buildings and other structures, potentially posing a health hazard. According to new research, autonomous drones may be ideal for harmlessly chasing the birds away.Continue ReadingCategory: Dro… Continue reading Autonomous drones may be the ultimate scarecrows … for pigeons→

Dexter tech gives regular lawnmowers the autonomous treatment

Posted on January 25, 2022 by Ben Coxworth

At least partially due to labor shortages, autonomous lawnmowers are becoming increasingly popular. The Dexter robotic system offers an alternative to buying a whole new “smart” mower, as it can be added to existing mowers in order to make them autonom… Continue reading Dexter tech gives regular lawnmowers the autonomous treatment→
