Climate Robotics: Engineering A Sustainable Future with Dr. Erin Linebarger

Thiago Alves sits down with Dr. Erin Linebarger to explore how robotics is revolutionizing climate solutions. Dr. Linebarger’s work focuses on leveraging automation and AI to tackle environmental challenges, particularly in the use of prescribed fire for ecosystem management. Join us as we discuss the benefits of prescribed fire, the barriers to scaling this practice, and how cutting-edge drone technology is being used for subcanopy mapping. We’ll also look ahead at the broader roadmap for robotics in climate solutions beyond prescribed fire. Tune in for an insightful conversation on the intersection of robotics, fire ecology, and sustainable innovation!
