Inspirationa
The inspiration for this project came from the need for a humane, effective way to keep ducks away from certain areas where they might cause disruption or environmental impact, such as ponds near sensitive ecosystems or human recreation zones. We envisioned an autonomous, eco-friendly solution that could gently deter ducks without harm, making use of fun, tech-driven methods like water sprays. By leveraging technology, we saw an opportunity to create a unique, engaging approach to wildlife management
What it does
The Cruising Keeper of Ducks Under Control with Kaotic Sprays is an autonomous boat designed to detect and deter ducks. Equipped with sensors and cameras, it detects ducks, identifies their location, and then gently sprays water in their direction to encourage them to move away. The device is an effective, humane way to keep ducks at bay while ensuring they are unharmed.
