Robo-Dog: A New Weapon in the Fight to Save Forests

On December 12, a new tool called 'Robo-Dog' (Robot-Dog) was developed to assist in the sustainable management and conservation of forests. This robot is specifically designed to aid in forest monitoring, mapping, and data collection. This initiative is part of the 'DigiForest' project, in collaboration with the Oxford Robotics Institute and partners across Europe.

Main Functions and Features:

• 3D Mapping: The robot can navigate rough terrain and uses laser sensors to create detailed 3D models of trees and forests.
• Improving Sustainability: The data collected by the robot is used to improve the sustainability of forests, reducing the effects of over-exploitation and extreme weather conditions.
• Data Collection: The robot can cover long distances, helping researchers monitor forest health and make better management decisions.
