The presence of pests and wild animals often poses significant threats to residential areas and agricultural fields. These animals not only endanger human safety but also have detrimental effects on the environment. Many wild animals and pests are vectors of dangerous diseases, which can severely impact human health and well-being. For instance, Leptospirosis, a severe blood infection caused by the bacteria Leptospira, is transmitted by rats. Similarly, rabies, a fatal disease caused by lyssaviruses, is spread through the saliva of infected animals, such as wild dogs, via bites or open wounds. Immediate measures are crucial to control the population of these pests within the ecosystem to mitigate these risks. Our group has developed an innovative solution called the Intelligent Animal Trap, which leverages digital technology aligned with the advancements of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 15, which focuses on life on land. The Intelligent Animal Trap is designed to assist individuals and communities facing challenges posed by wild animals and pests that threaten the security of homes, premises, and agricultural areas. This trap is more efficient than existing market alternatives because it operates automatically, eliminating the need for constant user supervision. This innovation is both user-friendly and environmentally sustainable as it does not rely on pesticides, which have numerous adverse effects on human health and the environment. Improper use of pesticides can leave harmful residues on crops and pollute air and water sources. The Intelligent Animal Trap incorporates robotic applications, enabling users to remotely monitor and control the capture of animals, thereby conserving energy and time.
