Robotic dog is unveiled at the Fairbanks International Airport

The jokes are going to write themselves. The Fairbanks International Airport has started using a robotic dog to scare off birds and other wildlife that can pose a threat to aviation. The robot’s name is “Aurora” and the Alaska Department of Transportation refers to it as a “her” in the press release:

“Aurora, named after Alaska’s famous northern lights, is a technologically advanced robot with the capability to navigate rugged terrains and endure harsh weather conditions prevalent in Interior Alaska,” DOT said. “Her deployment at FAI marks the first time an American airport is utilizing a robotic dog for active wildlife control, setting a precedent for innovation in airport safety and wildlife management.

“Aurora can operate for 90 minutes at time and takes 30 minutes to charge completely. Aurora’s handler controls her movements by utilizing a handheld remote which allows them to see what she sees and determine the method of approach. She comes equipped with the ability to crawl, crouch, walk and sit. The scope of her abilities includes data collection, species identification, wildlife mitigation, and notification,” the department said.

The Department of Transportation is beta-testing this robotic dog and will consider deploying models like it at other airports in the state. Aurora is equipped with advanced sensors and programmable capabilities to patrol the airport grounds actively, deterring wildlife from entering runways and aircraft operation areas.

    • I think we can all agree that the pronoun game should be let go. The only way that happens is to follow the idiocy to its logical conclusion. In this case a fake dog is referred to as her, so logically this fake dog would self identify as she/her if it were capable of self identifying as anything other than a fake dog…get it dog?

      Let’s end the pronoun nonsense and get back to your regular nonsense of defending Hamas supporting rioters who burn American flags, vandalize American monuments, chant “death to America”, and assault police officers.

  1. Is this thing transgender, go through a transition, or was it born this way? We have a right to know, damn-it !

  2. Who gets to choose what “it” identifies as and does that someone have blue hair? AND knee pads? ( no peanut butter required))……..

  3. Other articles said DOT wasted an incredible $70,000.00 on this fake dog.

    The FNSB animal shelter is full. It would be way cheaper to get some real dogs for a fraction of the cost and train them to chase birds.

  4. Stop with the woke crap, we will not comply!

    Wrong geographic location for this thing. We need it one the southern border to attack illegals pouring through our porous border. Or give it to Biden, so he has a dog that doesn’t bite SS agents.

  5. I really wish this was a joke a robot with bloody pronouns I want to know who got paid for doing that job and I want that job what the chief of propaganda? I cannot believe Alaska is sinking to that level what happened to alaskans not following the herd but rather exhibiting an independent streak. What are they going to do when it screws up put it in timeout? A pack of living breathing dogs properly trained would do much better job with the wildlife how is a robot going to do at 40 below against moose inquiring minds would like to know what the cost to the Fairbanks taxpayers is going to be to repair the thing and maintain it you know the feds are not going to

    • That is exactly where I see this going Doug! It is not to help humanity in any way. They will get us used to having these contraptions around and then those contraptions will be controlling our movements…or else.
