Maximilian Bachl, a machine learning engineer from Vienna, faced a persistent issue with pigeons overtaking the roof outside his window. In response, he devised a clever solution by creating an automated water turret. Equipped with a camera and powered by an artificial intelligence model, the system vigilantly observes the area. Upon detecting a pigeon, a water cannon, controlled by dual servo motors, swiftly targets the bird and deters it with a quick spray of water. This technology allows for customization, enabling users to program it to deter various animals. Enthusiastic users in online forums have expressed interest in similar devices to keep cats away from restricted areas or to prevent squirrels from invading their rooftops. What are your thoughts on this method?
