Meet SwagBot - the world's first cattle rounding robot, developed by Australian scientists to aid the country's livestock farmers.
Professor Salah Sukkarieh heads the research team at the University of Sydney, which developed the robot.
"We haven't seen anything like this, there have been robots that have been used on cattle stations but they have just been your four-axe, your four wheel, fixed-axis robotic systems. Here what you have is a omni-directional robot, can move in any direction, has an articulation mechanism as well, so it's a much more agile type of robot."
Propelled on four wheels, Swagbot is capable of navigating over obstacles and can be remotely navigated by farmers.
The robot remains in development, but Sukkarieh believes it could be in production within three years.
