There is also a lively sloth that moves very slowly in dense forests. Now, inspired by this, scientists have created a sloth robot, which hangs upside down just like the same animal and moves slowly, taking notes of nature, environment and wildlife.
The sloth-like robot is three feet tall and is mostly 3D printed. It has several types of sensors and motors installed in it. Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology have built it for a botanical garden.
Like its name, it moves very slowly and consumes battery sparingly. The robot is specially designed for forest conservation, environment survival, monitoring of animals and birds. Special types of solar panels are installed on it, which run the entire electrical system from sunlight.
A thick wire is tied to two trees and the robot is driven on it. With its sensors, it keeps track of temperature, carbon dioxide, weather and other conditions, but the robot keeps track of all the changes for a very long time, and once it becomes part of the environment, it can store data for months and even years. can collect
The robot is attached to a metre-long wire and moves only when needed, otherwise it stops and gathers information. Due to this capability, it is expected to be an eco-friendly robot as it can remain a part of an environment for a very long time.
