Robotic Mustering
Not evn the mighty and fabled 'Dave Jackson' could design a head, 'deep enough' to cart around the algoritms required to cuss the maddest calculating cow into coerced behavour.
I have already had two calls tonight on this fruit loop, me thinks the medication must have worn off. At the least he hasn't progressed past the think like a human stage. The next stage is deeper, not only think like a cow, but think smarter than a cow. poor man.
check below, as seen on the oz ABC site.
Robot ranchers for future musters: CSIRO
Posted 9 hours 51 minutes ago
The science leader for robotics at the CSIRO says unmanned flying robots could soon be used to muster cattle on outback stations.
Jonathan Roberts says scientists are working on technology so robots can see what is around them and make appropriate adjustments.
Dr Roberts says if that happens, robots will have a number of new uses in the outback.
"There is a lot of applications you could think about - you could survey animals and agriculture, maybe count kangaroos, count cattle," he said.
"Figure out where they are, you could use vision systems for that.
"You can potentially search for lost bushwalkers out bush."

Have to say I've been expecting to (dreading) hear(ing) more of this for some time... at least remotely-piloted craft if not robotic.
Progress eh? Anything, but anything to remove the "expensive" labour element from any job possible

The helmet would have electrodes to the Alpha's brain, which cause the Alpha to turn left or right. The helmet would also contain a GPS system. The rancher would send the desired latitude and longitudinal coordinates to the helmet, then put down the 'remote', pick up his Fosters, and go back to watching the football game.

Cows? What are they for? Isn't that Soylent Green stuff meant to taste better?
At low level i'm doubting any jobs will be at risk soon. The task may end up remote piloting the machine, with some computer control though...

Yeah Rossy rotor rooter, another mustering endorsement from way back and with whom i communicate when sometimes we dig for experienced opinion regarding the vagaries of CASA or ATSB.
At least one of our countries cattle corporates is "toying" with the. idea of remote controlled toys chasing mooies.
Ross may not wish to recall how during his mustering training whilst checking the fuel level in our machine he unfortunately stuck his hand up and got it clobbered by the stab bar. Result - trip to town (40 miles or so)in the other machine who had been doing a dual muster with us, piloted by none other than he of 'Bluetongue' fame. It being a weekend and this well before computers NAIPS or other easy advisory systems, during the medical trip the first I became aware of Katherine local parachute ops was a startled voice on the HF proclaiming that there were bodies floating past the front window. So Ross's quote of not wanting to run into a drone bears some weight.
A good operator is Rossy, but tonight - we wish for the maroons to yet again flog the blues next wednesday in this years decider of state of origin.
cheers tet
