摘要

受三趾树懒(Bradypus sp.)低能耗生活方式的启发，SlothBot是一种节能的太阳能机器人，旨在长期存在于树冠上。围绕着生存优先于目标驱动行动的新型机器人范式，SlothBot只在绝对必要的时候移动。自2020年5月以来，它一直在亚特兰大植物园的树顶进行气候测量。我们设想，在未来，树懒机器人团队可以部署在雨林树冠上，为野外生态学家收集数据。

The SlothBot: an ecologically inspired environmental monitoring robot

Inspired by the low-energy lifestyle of the three-toed sloth (Bradypus sp.), the SlothBot is an energy-efficient, solar-powered robot designed to have a persistent presence in tree canopies. Organized around the novel robotics paradigm that surviving takes precedence over goal-driven actions, the SlothBot only moves when it absolutely has to. Since May 2020, it has been taking climate measurements in the treetops of the Atlanta Botanical Garden. We envision that, in the future, teams of SlothBots can be deployed in a rainforest canopy to collect data for field ecologists.
