The temple authority is testing a quadruped robot for forest safety.
It uses thermal imaging and a laser scanning system to see in low visibility.
The robot classifies animals, people, and vehicles and streams live video.
Alerts are geo‑tagged and help staff deploy security and forest teams quickly.
It will work alongside current cameras and patrols, not replace them.
The robot can identify large animals, humans, and vehicles, and it sends location‑marked alerts and live video to the control room.
Early detection of leopards and other animals aims to warn pilgrims and allow quick response from forest and security teams.
The technology will complement existing camera traps and foot patrols, providing a mobile way to watch high‑activity areas.
