In order to recognise species worthy of protection in time, a research group from Fribourg wants to combine artificial intelligence, image data and citizen science. Robot reduces use of plant protection products A chopping robot with an integrated spraying system helps to reduce the use of plant protection products in vegetable production. This was the result of trials in fields with lettuce and pak choi. A high-tech honeycomb for bees A new high-tech honeycomb makes it possible to study bee colonies. The hive robot developed by EPFL researchers should provide new insights into the survival of pollinators. Based on sounds: AI determines species diversity According to a study, an automated analysis of animal sounds can provide a good indication of the development of species diversity in the area. The analysis was tested with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) on tropical reforestation areas. Gentle identification of fish species through their DNA Identifying fish species in a river using DNA traces: This method was tested in Switzerland. It proved to be simpler and more reliable than the electrofishing method used to date. Robot swings into unexplored treetops It abseils from a height and swings through the canopy of the rainforest: A robot named Avocado is designed to collect research data in such a difficult-to-access and endangered habitat.
