Tirumala Gets a Robot Dog: How TTD’s New High-Tech Move Could Make Pilgrim Safety Smarter

The robot dog will also have sound and light units. Officials are looking at a feature where if a wild animal approaches the pilgrim path, the robot can use sounds and lights to guide it back into the forest, without any physical contact. This method could reduce direct encounters between humans and wildlife.
At the same time, it can alert devotees and help the forest, vigilance, and security teams respond faster. TTD plans to use the robot as an additional mobile monitoring system, not as a replacement for existing camera traps and patrols.
