So far, the robot can operate in strawberry fields and grapevines.Įnvironmental Impact: Captures oceanic data

These synthetic trees are called “BioUrban” are they have the capability to remove 384 times the amount of carbon dioxide real trees can remove.Įnvironmental Impact: Ensuring plant yield, Sustainable farming practicesĭescription: SagaRobotics has developed a modular autonomous robot, Thorvald, that can perform UV treatment, pick fruits and vegetables, spray pesticides, and collect data to predict crop growth and yields. The moss purifies the air by consuming fine dust and other pollutants, and the technology is used in order to aid the survival of the moss and is used to monitor the effectiveness of the system.Įnvironmental Impact: Reduces carbon emissionsĭescription: The Mexican company “Biomi Tech” uses synthetic trees to eliminate carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Planetary Boundary: Atmospheric Particle Pollutionĭescription: Green City Solutions purifies atmospheric particle pollution through the integration of moss and technology. These ASVs collect trash and unwanted biomass from aquatic locations and collect and report necessary data regarding the status and the health of these waterways.Įnvironmental Impact: Reduces the number of pollutants and toxins in the air Keywords: Autonomous Ground Robot, Electric Vehicleĭescription: To decrease reliance on fossil fuels and to make freight yard operations more efficient, Outrider has created autonomous, electric-powered, zero-emission yard trucks to drive the rapid adoption of sustainable freight transportation.Įnvironmental Impact: Decreases trash/waste in water systemsĭescription: RanMarine uses autonomous surface vehicles (ASV) to clean aquatic environments, such as marinas, ports, harbors, and natural water bodies. The heavy picker allows for the manipulation of larger or ununiform objects while the fast picker allows for quick movement of waste.Įnvironmental Impact: Decreases carbon emissions ZenRobotics uses two different models of robotic arms to sort through the waste. Artificial intelligence helps recognize what these objects are and helps record data to be used to help optimize the waste sorting process.Įnvironmental Impact: Optimized the waste streamĭescription: ZenRobotics uses robotic technologies in order to help optimize the waste sorting process. Implementing computer vision allows the system to recognize objects in the waste stream. Keywords: Industrial Robotics, Waste Sorting, Computer Vision, Artificial Intelligenceĭescription: Sadako Technologies uses artificial intelligence and computer vision to make waste sorting more efficient. Keywords: Climate Change, Autonomous Ground Robot, Computer vision, Artificial intelligenceĮnvironmental Impact: Optimized the waste stream FarmWise robots are able to collect farming data which can be sent to the farmer to help optimize agricultural processes. Using FarmWise removed the need to use pesticides and other chemicals for the farming process. Keywords: Climate Change, Autonomous Ground Robot, Computer Vision, Artificial Intelligenceĭescription: FarmWise implements ground robots to assist with farming tasks, such as seeding and weed removal. The lionfish project is an autonomous submersible that can go at depths down to 1000 feet and capture lionfish.Įnvironmental Impact: Optimized plant growth

RSE specifically addresses the problem of lionfish threatening fish stock in the Atlantic Ocean. Keywords: Biodiversity Loss, Autonomous Marine Robot, Submersibleĭescription: Robots in Service of the Environment pose a solution to the loss of biodiversity within aquatic habitats. Robots in Service of the Environment (RSE)Įnvironmental Impact: Removes invasive species.The Growbots can be used in a multitude of terrain types and soil types, including the harder-clay soils. SkyGrow provides Robot (Growbot) Technology that makes tree planting faster, safer, and cheaper. Keywords: Climate change, Autonomous Ground Robotĭescription: Sky Grow is an Australian-based company that focuses on mitigating the effects of climate change by developing autonomous tree-planting robots.
