An infrared camera drone with AI should be able to identify giant pythons and other invasive species. Someone make it.

- marcosdumay 7y agoCold blooded doesn't mean that they are in environment temperature. The larger the animal, the hotter it tends to be, and the better infrared cameras do.
- keenmaster 7y agoThe same drone can also capture or kill snakes. Poisoned mice have already been used to kill invasive snake species, so the drone can drop those. On-board weaponry would be more efficient, but I’d get chills systematically erasing anything using a swarm of killer drones.... The risk of off-target killing should also be considered. A semi-autonomous solution would have the drone beam footage of the snake and await a kill order from Florida man. Yikes.
