SUMMARY:(DSS Colloquium) Thomas Schmickl\, University of Graz\, Austria
DESCRIPTION:Data Science & Society (DSS) Colloquium Talk with Thomas Schmickl\, University of Graz\, Austria\, on Monday April 8 at 5PM in Rocky 300.  \nTitle: Can Robots Save Nature? \nAbstract: Our planet is on the brink of the 6th mass extinction\, as our ecosystems are rapidly losing both\ndiversity and biomass. As intra- and inter-specific interaction networks weaken\, ecosystems\nbecome increasingly unstable\, setting off on a downward trajectory along a deadly spiral. I\nexplore how robotic systems can play a crucial role in supporting ecosystems and communities.\nI will show three levels of agency and how a “tech for good” approach might be helpful to\nfight ecosystem decay: monitoring\, intervention and restoration. By mitigating ecosystem\ndecay\, robots may buy us precious time to address the root causes of environmental crises. I\nwill show innovative systems that we’ve developed over recent years — the initial strides toward going beyond mere animal-interaction systems by establishing eco-effective robotics. \nPoster Link: https://pages.vassar.edu/dss/files/2024/03/Schmickl.presentation.8April2024.pdf
