Roboter als Retter? - Umweltschutz mit Maschinen
One thing is clear: machines offer new opportunities for environmental protection. Ideas abound: robotic arms that recycle batteries, artificial intelligence that finds garbage, and drones that explore the rainforest.
Robots as protectors of the environment? This is the central question of the documentary "Roboter als Retter?" broadcast by planet e., the environmental documentary series of the national German TV channel ZDF. In this documentary, we present our research on bioinspired robots that fly to the highest treetops and collect data and samples of the tree canopy.
