See moreThe Atlanta Botanical Garden's Storza Woods completed 13-month testing of a new robot, "SlothBot," designed to aid in the conservation of endangered species. Developed by robotics engineers at the Georgia Institute of Technology, this robot had been installed among the trees at the site. SlothBot's unique slow-motion design prioritizes energy efficiency, operating on solar panels and moving only when necessary to collect environmental data. It monitored temperature, weather, and carbon dioxide levels, contributing valuable insights into the ecosystem. Future plans include deploying SlothBot to study endangered species, highlighting its potential as a sustainable tool for environmental conservation. (Jul 2021)
