# A Four-Wheeled Robot is Improving Poultry Farming in Minnesota

When Jack Kilian heard there was a worker shortage at Minnesota’s turkey farms, he decided to put his robotics background to work. The result is Poultry Patrol, an IoT-connected robot that improves the health of birds and serves as a set of eyes and ears for busy farmers. The town of Red Wing provided the support to get the idea out of the lab and into the barn.
