SwagBot
Meet SwagBot: The Four-Wheeled Robot Cowboy
SwagBot is the world's first robot cowboy, built to roam the rugged Australian terrain. While it will be doing some cowboy work, make no mistake: SwagBot is less like John Wayne and maybe a little more like a hyper-competent herding dog. It's not the first robot to hit the farms of the Australian outback, which are vast, remote and often difficult to access. Livestock is currently only monitored one or twice a year in the Australian outback, meaning a permanent SwagBot presence could mean a great deal in the lives of animals.
