Drones can
collect samples
from endangered
plant species to
preserve seeds
for conservation
and research.
Drones can use GPS
technology to survey
animal populations in
dense forest or steep
cliffside.
Robots can be
equipped with water
tanks and sprinklers
to help combat
wildfires.
Robots with high
quality cameras
allow wildlife
photographers to
take close-up photos
of animals without
disturbing them.
Robots for the PlanetResearchers are using robots to gain a better understanding of our ecosystems. From cliff peaks to ocean trenches, robots are helping us to understand our planet.
Marine robots can
survey wildlife deep
underwater.
