In an attempt to make the country of Australia safe from the crocodile attacks, the world's first crocodile spotting drone known as "croc spotter" has been successfully tested near Cairns, Queensland. According to the designers, the drones are armed with an artificial intelligence algorithm that can spot crocodiles in rivers and beaches. The algorithm captures video and sends an alert to the pilot in case a crocodile is spotted.
