Abstract

U današnjem društvu, briga za okoliš postaje sve važnija i hitnija. Zaštita i očuvanje okoliša su neizostavna tema koja zahtijeva brzu i djelotvornu reakciju pred rastućim izazovima kao što su klimatske promjene, zagađenje i gubitak bioraznolikosti. Javlja se potreba za pronalaženjem inovativnih i učinkovitih tehničkih rješenja. Mobilni roboti koji mogu prikupljati podatke o okolišu, skupljati otpad, kretati se različitim terenima i pratiti kvalitetu zraka postaju potencijalno tehničko sredstvo u zaštiti okoliša. Zabrinjavajući je sve veći gubitak šuma u svijetu. Smanjenje šumskih površina ugrožava ekosustave, smanjuje bioraznolikost i doprinosi klimatskim promjenama. U ovom je radu stoga predstavljen koncept korištenja robota Spot u pošumljavanju. Robot Spot je četveronožan, modularan, opremljen raznim senzorima te može precizno saditi sjemenke kako bi obnovio šumska područja. Predložen je sustav sadnje koji uključuje dva robota Spot, a za Republiku Hrvatsku i Sisačko-moslavačku županiju, gdje je gubitak šuma posebno izražen, procijenjeni su parametri procesa sadnje i iznos investicije za sustav od dva robota.

Abstract (english)

In today's society, care for the environment is becoming more and more important and urgent. Protection and preservation of the environment is an indispensable topic that requires a quick and effective reaction to growing challenges such as climate change, pollution and loss of biodiversity. There is a need to find new innovative and effective technical solutions. Mobile robots that can collect data of the environment, collect waste, navigate different terrains and monitor air quality are becoming a potential technical tool in environmental protection. The increasing loss of forests in the world is alarming issue. The reduction of forest areas threatens ecosystems, reduces biodiversity and contributes to climate change. This paper presents the concept of using the Spot robot in reforestation. The Spot robot is a four-legged, modular robot equipped with various sensors, capable of precisely planting seeds to restore forested areas. A planting system that includes two Spot robots was proposed, and for the Republic of Croatia and Sisak-Moslavina County, where forest loss is particularly pronounced, the parameters of the planting process and the amount of investment for a system of two robots were estimated.
