Wan Xi, a computer engineer at China’s largest search engine Baidu and a #cat lover, has built the world’s first AI cat shelter for stray cats. Besides providing them with a warm home with abundant food and water, the shelter is able to identify 174 different kinds of cats with the help of a smart camera and can even automatically allow them access to the shelter. Furthermore, using Baidu’s no-code EasyDL tool, the shelter is capable of spotting common diseases and conditions in cats, such as gingivostomatitis, feline herpesvirus (FHV), and skin problems. It can also tell whether a cat has been sterilized. This data is sent to nearby volunteers who can provide better help to these cats in need. With intelligent temperature and humidity control, as well as a ventilation system, the AI cat shelter provides a comfortable place for stray cats, providing fresh air and a constant temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, the ideal temperature for cats. Abundant cat food and water is provided at the shelter and volunteers constantly refill the bowls.
