ABB Robotics has developed a pilot undertaking, utilizing a collaborative robotic (cobot) referred to as YuMi, in collaboration non-profit group Junglekeepers to show the potential of robots in reversing deforestation. 
YuMi makes use of solar energy to automate seed planting, rushing up reforestation within the Amazon and making the method extra environment friendly. Utilizing ABB’s RobotStudio Cloud Expertise, ABB specialists simulated, refined and deployed robotic programming in real-time from 12,000 km (7,460 miles) away in Västerås, Sweden, making YuMi probably the most distant robots on the planet. 
“ABB’s collaboration with Junglekeepers demonstrates how robotics and cloud know-how can play a central function in combating deforestation as one of many main contributors to local weather change,” Sami Atiya, president of ABB Robotics and Discrete Automation, stated. “Our pilot program with the world’s most distant robotic helps automate extremely repetitive duties, releasing up rangers to undertake extra necessary work out within the rainforest and serving to them to preserve the land they reside on.”  
The cobot is automating planting duties in a jungle laboratory in a distant area of the Peruvian Amazon, rushing the method and permitting Junglekeepers’ volunteers to focus their time and sources on extra impactful work, like patrolling the world to discourage unlawful loggers, educating locals on the preservation of the rainforest and planting mature saplings. 
YuMi is ready to dig a gap within the soil, drop the seeds in, compact the soil on prime and mark it with a color-coded tag. With YuMi, Junglekeepers is ready to replant an space the dimensions of two soccer fields each two days in zones that require reforestation. 
“As of proper now, now we have misplaced 20% of the overall space of Amazon rainforest; with out utilizing know-how immediately, conservation might be at a standstill,” Moshin Kazmi, Co-Founding father of Junglekeepers, stated. “Having Yumi at our base is an effective way to reveal our rangers to new methods of doing issues. It accelerates and expands our operations and advances our mission.”
YuMi doesn’t simply make reforestation quicker and extra environment friendly, it additionally permits Junglekeepers to proceed doing reforestation work with out having to search out individuals keen to remain and work in a distant jungle location. After set up, YuMi works autonomously, and can solely want troubleshooting as points come up. 
“The Amazon is at risk. That’s why we want know-how, science and native information to work collectively to be able to reserve it. In any other case, we might be too late. The rainforest could be saved, however we should convey collectively all these components to make a distinction,” Dennis del Castillo Torres, Director of Forest Administration Analysis on the Peruvian Amazon Analysis Institute, stated. “It is extremely necessary to have a mix of excessive know-how and conservation. There are a lot of applied sciences that we will use to protect the forest, and this robotic may also help lots to reforest quicker, however now we have to be very selective. We have now to make use of it in areas of excessive deforestation to hurry up the method of replanting.”
In accordance with the desires of Junglekeepers, the pilot undertaking will final for six weeks, throughout Could and June 2023. After this system wraps up, ABB plans to proceed exploring alternatives to help Junglekeepers on a extra prolonged foundation.
