'Bot on a Wire
PúblicoContenido Descargable
open in viewerLarge numbers of cormorants perch on powerlines to dry their wings, as a result most cormorants defecate in the pond. This defecation alters the water’s chemistry such that it kills fish and causes other environmental issues. Additionally, cormorants are a loud bird species and disturb the residents in the vicinity of cormorants roosting locations. The goal of this project is to create an inexpensive, automated solution to deter cormorants from landing on the powerlines. This project aimed to design and test a prototype solution that can be field-tested. The robot developed during the project can traverse the power cable, detect the bird using ultrasonic sensor, and switch on sound and light deterrent.
