Panel Discussion | Robotics for Climate Change Workshop @ ICRA 2022

This panel discussion features experts in robotics, environmental science, forest management and oceanography discussing a wide range of topics related to the workshop goal of addressing the challenges brought on by climate change.

Surface Signatures of Ocean Subduction for Targeted Sampling

Vertical velocities in the ocean are generally several orders of magnitude smaller than horizontal ones. However, the vertical exchange of water masses is a critical component of the climate system; it also plays a large role in the redistribution of nutrients and pollutants, thereby impacting ecosystems.

Design and Deployment of Marine Robotics for Environmental Exploration and Monitoring

The ocean plays a critical role in shaping the future of the planet under climate change, acting as the primary store of heat and carbon on Earth. In order to better understand the effects of this interaction between the climate and ocean into the future, exploration and monitoring of marine environments is critical.

Stein Particle Filter for Nonlinear, Non-Gaussian State Estimation

The sequential estimation of posterior distributions in state-space models from noisy observations is a critical capability in robotics, particularly in tasks such as localization, object pose estimation and terrain modelling.

Human-Computer Interaction for Precision Agriculture

Farming in a small-scale, resource-poor farming system is majorly dependent on the traditional knowledge of farmers, with non-judicial, time-consuming and labour-intensive agricultural practices commonly implemented, leading to low productivity and degradation of resources.

Can Low-Cost Robots Help Us Understand Ice-Ocean Interactions Leading to Global Sea Level Rise?

Melting of tidewater glaciers and ice shelves are closely linked to sea level rise. Direct measurements of submarine melt rates of glacier ice are difficult to make, as the waters in front of the glacier terminus are hazardous, especially in summer when the ice is melting rapidly and subaerial and submarine calving events occur often.

Exploring Polar & Planetary Frontiers with Science-Driven Robotics

Beneath ice shelves on Earth, processes such as accretion, melt and circulation mediate the interaction between the ocean and the ice. These are an important element of Earth’s climate system, contributing to the evolution of the cryosphere, and in some cases can destabilize ice shelves and ice sheets in our warming climate.
