Creature-machine hybrid detector system for the autonomous and multimodal detection of illicit and hazardous materials
First Claim
1. A hybridized creature-machine method of autonomous detection of illicit or hazardous materials, comprising:
- mounting a machine, instrument, or electronic device capable of analyzing and identifying illicit substances on a detection-creature previously trained in identifying illicit substances, said machine, instrument, or electronic device further comprising a microphone, ear piece, GPS locator, video camera, temperature and humidity sensor, lights, compass, and heartbeat detecting and monitoring components, a battery pack, and a wireless transmitter to transmit information from all these components to a remote receiver unit.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a creature-machine hybrid detector system capable of autonomously detecting illicit and hazardous materials. This hybrid detector comprises of an explosives detecting creature trained in the art of detecting illicit and hazardous materials that is additionally outfitted with a battery operated lightweight and portable electronics-based detector machine ensemble capable of real-time characterizations of vapor, liquid and gaseous phase materials towards which the creature displays a positive alert response, two-way wireless video, data, voice, location and image connectivity, a creature-heartbeat detector, and the capacity for interaction to remote personnel within the field of operations through a hand-held display or to a central control unit. Such a detector will combine the autonomous search-and-detect capability of a detector creature trained in the art of detection of illicit and hazardous materials with the multi-perspective material identification and characterization capability of electronics-based detector machines and instruments and will have superb advantages over currently available biological or electronic detection systems.
