 'SlothBot,' the robot taking its sweet time to monitor our climate.

The SlothBot hangs in the trees above the Atlanta Botanical Garden.

Though the SlothBot, as it's called, may not be as exciting 

to watch in action as a robotic cheetah or dog, 

there is purpose in its slowness.

When it comes to monitoring the gradual but 

critically important changes happening to the global climate, 

it pays to sit back, relax and stick around for a while.

Suspended by cables in the tree canopy high above the 

Atlanta Botanical Garden, the hyper-energy-efficient 

SlothBot is packed with sensors that are taking 

readings on everything from temperature, humidity, 

air quality and carbon dioxide levels.

Sloths spend roughly 15 hours each day asleep. 

And for the few hours that they are awake, 

they move at a snail's pace through the tree canopy.

The SlothBot needed to be extremely energy efficient 

sloth-like, if you will -- to conserve power 

and continue sampling the air, without having to be 

lowered down from the trees and recharged.

Eventually, they envision a network of SlothBots 

around the globe, feeding data back to provide 

scientists with snapshots of the health

 of different ecosystems.

Pint-sized heroes

and functioning during the pandemic.

A smile for Monday ...
