How AI-powered robot rabbits workWhy Florida is targeting Burmese pythonsHow the robot rabbits complements annual python hunt"These innovative robots produce a heat signature and emit a smell designed to attract pythons. The robots are equipped with cameras that monitor for pythons and notify District officials when a snake is detected. Once notified, the District can dispatch a python removal agent to the area,”Florida held its annual Python Challenge just a few weeks ago. When the system detects a python approaching, it automatically alerts officials at the South Florida Water Management District. Experts say the snakes likely established a breeding population in the Florida Everglades after Hurricane Andrew wiped out a python-breeding facility in 1992, releasing many into the wild.
