Terrifying Robotics Wolves Are Now Used By Farmers To Protect Crops In Japan by kunzeal: 8:22am On Mar 09, 2018
For the last eight months, farms near Kisarazu City in
Japan have been home to a horrifying robot wolf. But
don’t worry, it wasn’t created to terrorize local
residents (although, from the looks of the thing, it
probably did). Its official name is “Super Monster
Wolf,” and engineers designed it to stop animals
from eating farmers’ crops.
In truth, the story of the robowolf is more than a
little sad. As Motherboard reports, wolves went
extinct in Japan in the early 1800s. The cause? A
state-sponsored eradication campaign. Now, parts of
Japan are overrun with deer and wild boar. They love
to feast on farmers’ rice and chestnut crops.
Obviously, farmers do not love this. Fast forward 200
years, and humans create a robotic wolf to replace
the species theykilled off.
But there is some good here. The first official trial of
the robot wolf just ended and – surprise! – it was a
resounding success. In fact, it was such a success that
the wolf is entering mass production next
month, Asahi Television reports.
