A lifelike robotic Tibetan antelope is now roaming the high-altitude wilderness of Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve in Northwest China’s Qinghai Province, El.kz cites interestingengineering.com.
Equipped with 5G ultra-low latency networks and advanced artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, the bionic robot is being used to collect real-time data on Tibetan antelope populations without disturbing them.
This is the first time such a robotic antelope has been deployed in the heart of Hoh Xil, which sits more than 15,092 feet (4,600 meters) above sea level.
The project marks a major milestone for wildlife research and conservation in one of the most challenging environments on Earth.
" Near Zhuonai Lake in Hoh Xil at an altitude of nearly 5,000 meters, a bionic Tibetan antelope robot, empowered by 5G ultra-low latency networks and AI algorithms, was diligently working to conduct "unintrusive" real-time observations of the Tibetan antelope population" the message reads.
The Tibetan antelope is a flagship species of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and a key indicator of the region’s ecological health. Its protection is a major priority for conservationists in China.
