Polish scientists to create ‘world’s first’ forestry robot

Friday 11 Apr 2025

 
Polish scientists are working alongside an international team to create a forestry robot capable of inventorying trees, counting animals, collecting ticks and scouring the forest floor for archaeological nuggets.

The project, which is a world first, has been jointly undertaken by researchers at Poznań’s University of Life Sciences (UPP) and Adam Mickiewicz University as well as scientists from Italy and Cyprus.

With the project still in its infant stages, scientists say that they will design various models and test different sets of sensors before settling on a final version.

“For now, we have the idea that this will be a walking robot, with legs similar to an Alpine chamois (a species of goat-antelope found in southern Europe) to enable it to move over steep mountain slopes,” says UPP’s Anna Wierzbicka.
