'Forabot' Can Do a Boring but Important Job

Meet 'Forabot,' the robot capable of sorting, manipulating, and identifying marine fossils — a boring but important process that advances our understanding of the world's oceans and climate.

“The beauty of this technology is that it is made using relatively inexpensive off-the-shelf components, and we are making both the designs and the artificial intelligence software open source,” says Edgar Lobaton  , co-author of a paper on the work and an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at North Carolina State University. “Our goal is to make this tool widely accessible, so that it can be used by as many researchers as possible to advance our understanding of oceans, biodiversity and climate.”

    00:00:02 yeah research opportunities are a great opportunity for all sorts of students in our departments they gave hands-on experience on working on real world type of projects right and these are usually like projects that have been uh identified as being valuable for Society of course there's a big impact and we're looking at partnering Partnerships uh depending on the type of projects with

    00:00:24 either group for instance like uh agricultural Sciences agricultural engineering or crop Sciences where we're looking at trying to promote some of these technologies that we're developing and actually take them to the real world to the to the field
