In 2024, wildfires destroyed 6.7 million hectares of tropical rainforest globally in 2024—an 80% surge year-on-year. In particular, California experienced its worst wildfire disaster in U.S. history, raging for over three weeks, burning 60,000 acres of land and claiming 31 lives. These devastating events drive our search for solutions.
Leveraging the AI and robotics skills that we have learnt, we have developed an autonomous forest cleaning robot capable of autonomously identifying, collecting, chewing, pulping the accumulated leaves and ejecting the processed debris on-site, transforming dry, flammable leaves into extruded pureed leaves. This not only effectively reduces the fire risk caused by leaf buildup but also speed up the conversion of leaf litter into compost.
