All of these last years of work are bearing fruits! We are very proud to have achieved this world's first: A new species discovery and collection by drone using our Mamba robotic arm! 🌱
Big news 🤖🌿 Our aerial drone has uncovered a new plant species on Kauai's dry cliffs, marking a historic moment in botanical exploration. So cool to see how this tech is changing the way we explore and appreciate our world. Mahalo to our collaborators @OutreachRobotic

Participating in The @xprize Rainforest competition has opened our eyes and made us to think how to protect Amazonian Forest. Is a robot capable of conducting biodiversity missions across tropical forests, navigating large areas over extended periods? Here's the Bioscout!

Watch how @NEON_sci integrates the #DeLeaves to procure top canopy foliage that is otherwise hard to reach. lnkd.in/euUbW5CM With #drones to collect sunlit canopy samples, NEON scientists can measure leaf mass/area, leaf water content, carbon, nitrogen, and more!

Another achievement we are proudly sharing! We introduce the Limelight, a biodiversity monitoring station delivered by drone we have developed as a member of @TeamWaponi for the @xprize Rainforest semi-finals. Bonus: tree samples collected at night with the DeLeaves
Introducing 💫Limelight💫, a new #rainforest diversity monitoring platform developed w/@OutreachRobotic. We tested this tech in the #xprizerainforest semifinals in Singapore, where we inventoried species via #eDNA #specimens #bioacoustics & images analyzed by #AI! @xprize

Amazing news! Our work is literally bearing fruit 🌱
An extremely rare plant, collected by drone, has 1) rooted, 2) flowered, and 3) seeded in our Conservation Nursery! One day, we hope to restore populations of laukahi plants and keep cultural connections to this species alive. ntbg.org/news/drone-collecte…
