portable station features a touch screen that monkeys can interact with. It also includes facial recognition software to identify individual primates. CapuchinAI allows scientists to conduct cognitive tests directly with wild capuchin monkeys. The system records
responses to assess primate intelligence in their natural habitat. Early observations show monkeys approaching the device and engaging with the screen. Researchers hope the data will reveal how wild primates solve problems without human training. The project could
expand knowledge of animal cognition and inform conservation strategies.
