Abstract
Recently conflicts between wildlife and human becomes worldwide problem, but conservation of wild animals is also a current hot topic. We are developing a unique high-performance but low-cost legged robot “Whitegoat” series. The robot accidentally scared real goats, with its animal-like behavior. Inspired by the fact, our team is arranging the robot for wildlife saving tasks. The robot will be an expanded Whitegoat type, with telescopic manipulator as non-lethal threating equipment. It will patrol around the human territory and the size and function will be similar as guard dogs. We will describe the ongoing project in this report.
