南佛罗里达州测试太阳能机器人兔子 以诱骗和捕捉入侵的缅甸皮鞭 在Everglades。 South Florida tests solar-powered robot rabbits to lure and capture invasive Burmese pythons in the Everglades.

南佛罗里达水管理区正在测试机器兔子，以对抗大沼泽地的入侵缅甸蟒蛇，这些蟒蛇已经摧毁了本地野生动物。 The South Florida Water Management District is testing robot rabbits to combat invasive Burmese pythons in the Everglades, which have devastated native wildlife. 太阳能诱饵仿照沼泽兔子的热量、气味和运动,将蛇引入摄像监测的钢笔,以便探测和捕捉。 The solar-powered decoys mimic marsh rabbits with heat, scent, and movement to lure snakes into camera-monitored pens for detection and capture. 这4 000美元的装置在一个有120个单元的试点项目中部署,目的是更好地发现难以捉摸、伪装的蛇。 Deployed in a pilot project with 120 units, the $4,000 devices aim to improve detection of elusive, camouflaged snakes. 这项努力支持更广泛的清除运动,包括公众挑战,这些挑战导致自2000年以来消除了23 000多只皮眼虫。 The effort supports broader removal campaigns, including public challenges that have led to over 23,000 pythons removed since 2000. 官员们表示，每次捕获都有助于保护生态系统，虽然机器人计划还处于早期阶段，但研究人员仍然希望它能成为一种有效的工具。 Officials say each capture helps protect the ecosystem, and while the robot initiative is still early, researchers remain hopeful it will become an effective tool.
