Climate Robotics Network

Can robotics play a meaningful and impactful role in supporting climate action? If so, what is the current evidence base for the value-add of robotics? How do we build this evidence base? Who are the key actors and enablers in this space? What concrete climate problems should the robotics community prioritize and why? Where and when does applying robotics for climate action make no sense or cause harm? What advances in robotics are needed to add more value and drive more impact? How can we ensure that the design and deployment of climate robotics are inclusive and locally-led rather than foreign-led and techno-centric? What policy changes are needed to accelerate the safe, sustainable and responsible application of robotics in climate? Here's what we're working on to tackle these questions: - Organizing an annual Climate Robotics Summit - Creating a Global Map of Climate Robotics (who is doing what/where/how) - Launching a White Paper series to build the knowledge base - Creating a Code of Conduct to hold ourselves accountable We're co-creating the Climate Robotics Network to collectively address these and other questions.
