I think there's potential for automated forestry to capture carbon, but the KS video doesn't really help me imagine how it would work. What would the robots actually do in the forest to capture a lot more carbon? How many different kinds of robots would it take? Can people do some of those jobs in the meantime while the robots are under development? Are there forests, even small ones, being managed this way today? Rather than making one system to do all the forestry jobs, it's probably better to design one robot for one particular task that can save money for forestry companies. Once you have a business selling one kind of robot, expand outwards from there. |

And you are right, a likely good place for me to start, is in logging industry (forestry). Though, I was more hoping to build robots to create and maintain forests, not cut them down at scale more efficiently.
Making robots to hasten climate change may not be the right approach to solving it. Yet, the best customers I could get would be logging, mining or oil.
