What is the role of robotics in environmental monitoring and conservation, and how do robots assist scientists and conservationists in tasks such as habitat mapping, wildlife tracking, or pollution detection to study biodiversity, ecosystem health, and environmental changes in terrestrial, aquatic, or aerial environments?

Robotics contributes to environmental monitoring and conservation by deploying robots for tasks such as habitat assessment, species monitoring, and environmental sensing. Robots equipped with sensors, cameras, and autonomous navigation capabilities collect data on wildlife populations, habitat conditions, and environmental parameters, enabling scientists and conservationists to assess biodiversity, monitor ecosystem health, and implement conservation measures for protecting natural resources and ecosystems.
