Robotic Innovation for Wildlife Conservation.

Technology at the Service of Nature

WiMoBo focuses on designing robust and fast control algorithms that enable robots to operate efficiently in complex environments. Additionally, the project aims to generate technology and knowledge applicable to the development of autonomous vehicles equipped with state-of-the-art sensors.

One of the main challenges this project addresses is the collection of greenhouse gas (GHG) data and the population census of the Pampas deer, an endangered species inhabiting this protected area. The implementation of multi-robot systems in different environments promises to improve the quality and accuracy of the data obtained, allowing for better decision-making in conservation and impact mitigation efforts.

Commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals

The work carried out by WiMoBo aligns with several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including:

• SDG 6: Protection and restoration of water-related ecosystems, particularly wetland areas.
• SDG 13: Actions to combat climate change by using cutting-edge technology to detect GHG concentrations.
• SDG 14 and 15: Preservation of marine and terrestrial ecosystems, improving understanding and prediction of global change impacts.
