Sensors instead of cowbells
Bosch’s Absolute Orientation Sensor BNO055 is suitable for a wide range of purposes, e.g. augmented reality applications, sophisticated computer games and intelligent fitness devices. Thanks to Simon Casey from Bosch Australia, it can now even be used to keep track of cattle herds. Growing up on a farm in Australia, Simon Casey experienced how difficult and exhausting it can be to watch over a herd of cattle. Regardless of the weather conditions or the size of the fields, farmers have to monitor their cows, otherwise they tend to wander off or are at risk of being harmed by sickness or a predator.
