Purrfection! AI-powered shelter in Beijing warms stray cats in winter

BEIJING - A constant temperature of 27 degrees Centigrade, a never-freezing water bowl, a comfy mat. No dogs allowed.

Winter is rough for stray animals as they require extra calories to stay warm. Only around 40 per cent of stray cats find enough food and shelter to make it through the harsh temperatures. Now Chinese netizens have dubbed Wan Xi - he doesn't give his real name -"the most hardcore cat lover" for building the AI cat shelter.

The camera can check cats for four common feline diseases like inflammation of mouth and gums, skin problems and trauma. It can identify a neutered cat by spotting its ear tag within 300 milliseconds. The temperature inside the smart cattery is maintained at 27 deg C, the point at which cats feel most comfortable and relaxed.Wan Xi said stray cats in the neighbourhood were more nervous at first and just wandered around curiously. After one brave moggy made the first visit, others followed.

AI startup Megvii, at the suggestion of local government, developed a dog facial recognition system to help reunite owners with lost pets.
