'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.

and
functioning during the pandemic.
A smile for Monday ...
