Fire ants are a major nuisance, but scientists created a robo-dog that can identify them better than humans.
, then tasked it to survey 300-square-meter nursery gardens for ant mounds. Once a hive was located, the robot dog “pawed” at it to disturb its residents, after which researchers stepped in to analyze the insects’ numbers and aggression levels to determine regular species from the invasive fire ants.
Impressively, the team’s ant-finding robot dog far outperformed three human control surveyors, even after each received an hour of pest identification and management training. Both the robot and its human competitors searched the same nursery fields for 10 minutes, but the AI system detected three times more nests while also identifying them more accurately at a 95 percent precision rate.
