Robotics is transforming climate action, ecological monitoring, biodiversity conservation, environmental compliance, and disaster response. This domain equips learners to design and deploy robotic systems (land, aerial, aquatic) for ecosystem observation, wildlife protection, pollution detection, forest surveillance, and restoration operations. Learners develop skills in sensor integration, autonomous navigation, geospatial analytics, drone ops, robot–AI fusion, and data-driven conservation strategies.
