Robotic Drone Payload System for Reforestation

Over 2 million acres of land were affected by wildfires in California in 2021 alone. Reforestation is slow and costly, sometimes even physically impossible. Collaborating with the Morphing Matter Lab, our team developed a drone-based deployment system for their biodegradable seed carrier that autonomously buries itself when exposed to moisture. Our system allows for precise deployment of 50 seeds across multiple geographical environments with a modular design that enables quick restocking between flights.
