An AI robotic dog that can identify the properties of unknown gases and search for pollution sources was introduced by the Environmental Protection Department (EPD) to aid in the probe of air pollution incidents. Equipped with advanced computer vision and gaseous sensors, the “AI Environmental Air Nuisance Investigation Robot Dog” can infer the origins and activities causing such pollutants. The smart device will raise its paw to indicate the presence of gas and guide EPD officers to the source of pollution. The AI dog has already proven its worth, assisting the EPD in solving a mystery behind an air pollution case in the Yuen Long Industrial Estate on its first mission. Excitingly, the authorities are not stopping at the current capabilities of the AI dog.
