RoboForest - Robot for georeferenced sensor-based pruning and vitality monitoring of forest seedlings
After drought and pest infestation have destroyed large parts of the forest, reforestation poses challenges: an area with new seedlings requires several years of intensive care, for which there is hardly any personnel.
The solution: a mobile, self-sufficient robot platform travels over the newly cultivated areas at regular intervals. As soon as the seedlings are planted, they are entered on a map and made known to the robot, which can localise and navigate itself. It uses its flexible pruning tool to remove unwanted growth from the young plants. At the same time, a multi-sensor system records their health status. As many forward-looking companies already have robot platforms, this fully automated care of newly planted cultivation areas does not even require large financial investments.
Results and the Final report will be found here, as soon as the project is completed.
