Voyager robot fence herds cows
Posted on May 31, 07 09:35 AM PDT

The Voyager robot fence is definitely an interesting addition to any farm, being an electrified fence that is smart enough to prevent cows from wandering out of the designated grazing zone. This smart fence also moves a few feet on occasion to give cows fresh grass to graze upon. Whenever cows get from one end of the field to the other, the fence will redirect the entire herd back to the starting point, giving cows a fresh start while enabling the field to regenerate. The fence itself comprises of two 4-wheel skid-steer robots that ensure the electrified line is properly tensioned between them. What happens if they gain an awareness of their own and start to herd humans instead?
