The 22nd of this month is the 53rd Earth Day. How to use high technology to help environmental protection work has become an important issue in people’s thinking.
Robots are playing an active role in environmental protection and pollution control:
First of all, in terms of monitoring and governance, robots have shown their unique role and value with the help of accurate monitoring, comprehensive prevention and efficient governance. In terms of monitoring, the application and progress of products such as drones, unmanned ships, and underwater robots have improved human environmental inspection capabilities. They can go deeper into the front line of danger more fearlessly, and can also use the blessing of big data and artificial intelligence to improve the comprehensiveness, accuracy and efficiency of environmental monitoring.
In terms of governance, the continuous emergence of cases such as sanitation robots sweeping garbage and underwater robots dredging rivers has also made pollution control easier.
At present, robots are mainly engaged in dangerous, harmful, toxic, low-temperature, high-heat, and high-intensity work in place of humans in industrial production, outdoor operations, and special urban activities. These robots are often exposed to harsh environments, with environmental threats such as dust, oil, and extreme temperatures.
