During the workshop, researchers from the EU-projects MAMBO, Natural Intelligence, and WildDrone will seek to answer the main question of how robots can be deployed in daily ecology practices that encompass complex tasks and need real-time reliable solutions to scale up wildlife and habitat condition monitoring.
The problem will be addressed from different perspectives by invited talks from leading European projects in the domain, and solutions will be discussed in a roundtable session. The workshop is expected to create a roadmap or a whitepaper to pave the way forward for the use of robots in nature conservation.
