Example of Science and Economy Collaboration Program - A robot arrives in the pastures of Serbia instead of a shepherd

The prototype of the first shepherd robot will be released in the pastures of Serbia this year, as early as next summer, and could conquer pastures worldwide. The robot-shepherd project is financially supported through the Science and Economy Cooperation Program of the Innovation Fund from the budget of Serbia from the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development, under the Competitiveness and Employment Promotion Project (Loan Agreement with the World Bank).

The unusual shepherd, who will only be introduced to the public during the promotional walk, is the work of innovator Dusan Krstic from Niš, an expert at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in the city of Nis, and "Coming Computer Engineering" from Belgrade, with the support of the Innovation Fund from the budget of the Republic of Serbia. The idea is that their Robo-Shepherd (Robo-Shepherd) will allow animals to be farmed as they used to. By the end of the year an unusual shepherd will be tested.

"Robo-shepherding makes it possible to produce healthy food because healthy milk and meat are obtained from healthy moving animals and spend time in the sun eating exactly the kind of food nature intended for them," says Krstic. "Such animals do not need constant hormonal and antibiotic therapies, they are not obese and happy to live in natural conditions. An increasing human population will need more and more food, but to produce healthy food in the countryside and mountains, labor is needed, which is due to migration to cities there is none.

According to Krstic, this robot can be a tool for preserving rural areas around the world, as it provides a solar-powered shepherd workforce.

"People have forgotten that the milk they drink comes mostly from cows that spend a century in the barn, eating 'concentrate.'" Krstic says. it is so much easier and cheaper for a person. We did not bother to provide shepherds and we did not organize to raise cows, goats and sheep in pastures. That is why our team is on the right track to reverse the way livestock is raised. "
