Presentation
5G Connected Forest is the world-first project delivering 5G connectivity to into a woodland area that investigates the role of 5G in delivering visitor attractions for all ages, protecting the sensitive forest environment through robotic environmental management and live monitoring. The continuous decline in the forest health will limit its ability to support people and wildlife in terms of clear oxygen, water and food. The use of ground robots has become immensely popular over the past years due to their capability of being applied in many applications. And robotic technology has a great potential to enable autonomous roaming and navigation through certain trajectories to collect various data in efforts to monitor and assess the forest environment, which will help protect and preserve its ecosystem. During this presentation the project's new forest ranger dog will be demonstrated.
