Kuhlala kulusizi ukucinga ngezilwanyana ezingasekhoyo. Sihlala sizibuza ngeedayinaso kwaye sibona iifosili zazo iimyuziyam ukanti asicingi ukuba ngenye imini ukuba asithabathi manyathelo, izilwanyana esizithabatha lula zinokuphela zize ziphelele kwiimyuziyam ezisecaleni kwamathambo edayinaso. Inkqubela phambili yetekhnoloji yakutsha nje inokuba sisitshixo ekusindiseni ezi ntlobo zezilwanyana zisemngciphekweni wokuphela, kunye ne-AI kunye needrones ezinokuthi zibe zizixhobo ezidityanisiweyo kwiinzame zolondolozo.
Drones ingasinceda kwidabi elichasene neentlobo ezihlaselayo ezingeyonzalelwane yendalo esingqongileyo ezikhuphisana nezinye iintlobo zobutyebi. Baye benza njalo zibonakaliswe bayakwazi ukunceda ekukhuseleni izilwanyana neendawo zokuhlala ezisengozini yokuphela. Le ndlela yokungathinteli ivumela ukuba kubekwe iliso ngokufanelekileyo kwezilwanyana zasendle, ngakumbi kwiindawo ezikude kunye nokunzima ukufikelela kuzo okanye kwiintlobo eziphazamiseka lula.
Ukuphazamiseka okuncinci kwizilwanyana
Iqela kwiYunivesithi yaseFlinders, ekhokelwa nguDkt Diane Colombelli-Négrel, baqeshwe iidrones ukurekhoda iikoalas kwi-treetops. Abaphandi baqaphele ukuba umsebenzi wedrone kufutshane nemithi yabo awuzange unyuse kakhulu izinga lentliziyo yeekoalas, njengoko kulinganiswe ngabalandeleli beFitbit. Iikoalas zineprotein ephantsi kakhulu ekutyeni okusekwe kumagqabi e-eucalyptus ngoko ke zifuna ngaphezulu kweeyure ezingama-20 zokulala ngosuku ukuze zibuyekeze, ngoko ke ukuziphazamisa kuya kubonakalisa imveliso echaseneyo nemizamo yokhuseleko. Oku kusebenza nakwezinye iintlobo ezininzi ezisengozini yokuphela.
Abaphandi baye babeka iliso kuluntu oluncinci lwepenguin kwiSiqithi saseGranite, eMzantsi Ostreliya. Basebenzise isoftware ye-acoustic kunye neevidiyo ezirekhodiweyo zasebusuku ukuze babeke iliso kwiiphimbo zepenguin kunye nokuvavanya iimpembelelo zemisebenzi yabantu kwindlela abaziphatha ngayo. Iziphumo zolu phando azikhange zibonise kuphela iziphumo zokuphazamiseka okubangelwa ngabakhenkethi kodwa zichonge ezinye izoyikiso, ezibandakanya abaqweqwedisi bomhlaba.
Ukusetyenziswa kweedrones kunye nobuchwepheshe obuphambili budlulela ngaphaya kwendawo yeekoalas, iipenguin, okanye naluphi na uhlobo olunye. Nazi ngaphezu kwe-40 lamawaka iintlobo zezilwanyana ezisesichengeni sokuphela. Kwabaninzi babo, obu bugcisa mhlawumbi lithemba lokugqibela lokusinda. Ukusebenzisa itekhnoloji efana ne-drones kubonelela ngeendlela ezingahlaseliyo nezisebenzayo zokubeka iliso kwizilwanyana zasendle kwiindawo ezikude okanye ezibuthathaka, zonke zichaneka ngendlela engazange ibonwe ngaphambili kunye nokusebenza kakuhle. Ngale nto, abalondolozi bendalo banokuqulunqa izicwangciso ezijoliswe kuzo zohlobo ngalunye ngokweziphumo zabo zokubeka iliso.
IYouTube: Iidrones ezisetyenziselwa ukulandelela iikoalas ezisengozini eOstreliya
