Design of a quadruped robot for human–elephant conflict mitigation
Artificial Life and Robotics, 2013Human–elephant conflict is a major problem leading to crop damage, human death by elephants and elephants being killed by people. The surveillance and tracking of elephant herds are difficult due to their size and nature of movement. In this article, we propose a four-wheeled quadruped robot to mitigate human–elephant conflict.

Design and implementation of in-situ human-elephant conflict management system
Journal of Intelligent & Fuzzy Systems, 2019Elephant play a major role in maintaining the ecosystem. Elephants move out of their corridor in search of food and water, result in rise of human-elephant conflicts. Human-Elephant conflict arises in different form such as destruction of field by elephants, elephants are runover by train, elephants getting electrocuted etc.

Characterising the Human–Elephant Conflict Zone
2016This chapter discusses the characterisation of the human–elephant conflict zone. The demographics of the study area is represented by a rural, agriculture-based population. About 92.63 % of the total population are rural; 61.5 % of the workers are cultivators; 88.1 % of the population are agricultural labourers; 31.7 % of the populace belong to ...
