Table 2 Status of current RAS technology available for terrestrial biodiversity monitoring

From: Opportunities and challenges for monitoring terrestrial biodiversity in the robotics age

  1. Coloured shading indicates the main areas in which technological developments are needed to enable RAS to perform each monitoring task: grey, field-tested technology exists; sage green, technology exists, but substantial limitations need to be overcome; dark green, working prototypes exist; pink, technology is still in research and development phase; blue, major technological breakthrough required.
