🎙️ Podcast episode 6: A glimpse into the future

This week's episode explores two fascinating developments:

First, we examine the SingleTree project - a new EU initiative developing digital tracking for individual trees. Then we look at Kelluu's innovative airships, offering a fresh perspective on forest monitoring.

Our main segment ventures into more experimental territory: walking robots in forestry.

📃 Walking robots in our forests: Future reality or science fiction?

We've been exploring robotics in forestry over recent weeks, and now we're taking a deeper look at something rather intriguing.

Picture this: You're out for a Sunday walk, flask of tea in hand, when you encounter a yellow robot making its way through the trees. Far-fetched? Perhaps not as much as you might think.

The key questions we're exploring:

Where does the technology stand today?
What's actually possible versus clever marketing?
Can these robots handle real forest conditions?

We examine both opportunities and challenges, asking whether this is really the direction we want forestry to take.

📣 Kelluu: Rethinking aerial monitoring

While drones have dominated aerial surveys, Kelluu offers something different: autonomous airships. Their solution tackles one of the biggest challenges in aerial monitoring - flight time.
