IMDA and Mandai Wildlife Group are collaborating to test the performance of outdoor robotics.
Mr Prakash Sudandiran, assistant manager, animal care, Mandai Wildlife Group, loading containers of animal feed into the Delivery Autonomous Mobile Robot.
The three robots, which will be deployed in the first quarter of 2025, were unveiled on Nov 19 at a media showcase of a trial held by Mandai Wildlife Group , in collaboration with the Infocomm Media Development Authority .But delivering bird feed across the sprawling 17ha site is time-consuming for park keepers, who typically send heavy batches of feed on a buggy.
The buggy-sized vehicle, named Pika, can carry loads of up to 250kg and is fitted with rugged wheels that allow it to scale slopes, as well as go over curbs and wet terrain. Also in early 2025, visitors to the wildlife reserve will be greeted by the artificial intelligence concierge robot built by local tech company Autove Robotics.
The robot can also alert users to changes in the weather based on official weather forecast resources that it is linked with.
