Robot dogs are increasingly finding real life uses as guardians of sensitive sites like AI data centers<\/a>, the US-Mexico border<\/a>, and Donald Trump\u2019s Mar-a-Lago resort<\/a>. In a dystopian turn, now they\u2019re also guarding valuable cash crops \u2014 at least in the US, where industrial agriculture companies like Bayer are deploying robodogs to watch over hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of raw corn.<\/p>\n

According to industry publication the Fence Post<\/em><\/a>, Bayer is supplementing human security patrols around its 8,000 acre Hawaiian corn farm with robotic security dogs, supplied by the tech firm Asylon.<\/p>\n

The Asylon dogs are meant to guard the company\u2019s precious maize from vandals, wildfires, wild fauna, and other hazards around the clock. They do so with a payload of thermal cameras and electro-optical sensors, the kind used in unmanned military drones<\/a>. Each robodog connects both to Bayer\u2019s Hawaii Security Operations Centre and Alyson\u2019s Robotic Security Operations Centre, meaning anyone trying to pull off a daring corn heist is going to have a hard time.<\/p>\n
