AI deep learning system helps keep lawn cat poop-free
The cat-chaser is quite clever. A Foscam IP camera keeps watch over the yard, and when it detects motion it takes a photo once every second for seven seconds. These are sent to an Nvidia Jetson TX1, a development module designed to run this kind of prototypical hardware system. The Jetson is running a "fully-convolutional neural network for semantic segmentation", or FCN, which has been fed as many images of cats as Bond could get his hands on – which if the internet's love of cats is anything to go by is sure to be a lot.
