lean Streets with Crows: A Unique Solution to City Waste
In many cities, the issue of street cleanliness is a major concern. Particularly when it comes to small pieces of trash that pedestrians often neglect to throw in the nearest bin. The Dutch startup Crowbar may not change people's habits, but it can certainly help clean up the city, especially when it comes to cigarette butts. So, what exactly does this invention entail?
The Invention Explained
he Crowbar system is an innovative machine designed to collect cigarette butts, using crows. Essentially, it functions as a feeder that only dispenses food when a cigarette butt is placed in its bottom container. The machine is equipped with several cameras that can identify the specific item. Once the cigarette butt is detected, the bird is rewarded instantly with food from the upper container.
his invention is based on two key aspects of crows: First, they are very good at collecting small objects, including trash. Second, they possess an exceptional level of intelligence compared to other animals. Through positive reinforcement, crows can be trained to perform simple tasks. In this case, the birds are rewarded with food for correctly identifying and placing cigarette butts into the machine.
Even more interesting is that once one crow learns the process, others quickly follow. Crows are known for observing their peers to learn faster and find food more efficiently. This creates a chain reaction, and soon, all the local crows will be participating in cleaning up cigarette butts from the streets.
