A robot dog has been trained to sniff out nests of invasive ants — and does it better than humans.
The device, called CyberDog, uses artificial intelligence to identify and control the globally destructive red fire ants.
Field tests carried out by the researchers from China and Brazil revealed the robotic system can significantly outperform human inspectors, identifying three times more of the ants nests with greater precision.
Red fire ants are said to be one of the world’s most destructive pests.
They were accidentally introduced to the United States in the 1930s and have since spread across numerous areas including China, Japan and Europe, causing extensive environmental damage and economic losses.
?Conventional approaches to controlling these ant populations involve the use of pesticides, at the risk of harming local ecosystems.
The new robot solution used a CyberDog quadruped robot made by Chinese tech company Xiaomi.
It was integrated with a machine learning model trained on a comprehensive dataset of over 1,100 images of the invasive red ant nests.
The CyberDog was programmed to press the nest with its front paw.
OPS:Results of various red fire ant nest detection sites unvovered by the CyberDog at various locations.

A drone built to identify and zap flying insects that plague industrial greenhouses is about to zoom onto the market.
The Dutch-designed PATS system uses the tiny machines to chop the pests up in mid-air.
The system consists of two parts called PATS-C and PATS-X.
The PATS-C component is an internet-connected infrared camera module and several are installed throughout the greenhouse.
The units use artificial intelligence to identify any flying insects that enter the airspace above the plants.
Species identification is based on wingbeat frequency and size.
If the insect turns out to be a beneficial species, such as a bee, it's left alone.
If it's a pest , the small drone called PATS-X is alerted.
The drone sits on a wireless charging dock in the greenhouse while not in use.
When a pest is spotted, PATS-C activates the drone and guides it to the insect's location.
The copter then flies into the pest which gets chopped in its propellers.

Florida's feral hogs: a pervasive pest – but a profitable one for some. The US’s most destructive invasive species numbers in the millions, clashing with a growing human population and boosting a lucrative hunting industry.
Upwards of 9 million wild boar roam 39 states across the US, which is up from an estimated 2 million in 17 states three decades ago. Florida hosts more than half a million – the second largest population of hogs in the country behind Texas, but also the oldest bloodline. The first pigs to arrive in America were brought by the Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto, who landed near present-day Tampa in 1539. They promptly escaped, establishing a critical mass of the now-ubiquitous vermin. Today, wild hogs are considered the most destructive invasive species in the country, and the greatest wildlife challenge that the US faces in the 21st century. According to US Department of Agriculture estimates, they cause north of $2.5bn in damage each year. With gnarled tusks and bodies that can swell to the size of oak bourbon barrels, they trash watersheds, destroy crops, attack livestock, spread disease, terrorize residents and desecrate archeological sites; they are aggressive, whip-smart, lightning-fast and dine opportunistically on oak berries, trash, corn, carrion and each other. A passel of hogs can take out a commercial watermelon or tomato farm overnight, leaving the fields resembling a blast site from a hail of mortar shells.
