First robotic environmental monitoring mission - video
22-23 November 2021 - Two days near Perugia, on the Monte Maggio, a zone within NATURA2000, a network of protected natural territories in the European Union. Several images and videos captured onboard through autonomous navigation missions to get feedback from the environmental health status, following the experience of the botanical team of Univerisity of Perugia. Despite the not so favorable weather, the robot worked great, and our soft feet too. First great real experience over 1000m a.s.l.!
