Outline

This paper provides a roadmap for how robotics can contribute to one of the major challenges of the 21st century: climate change. It presents opportunities for robotics to achieve high efficiency through collaboration with experts in various climate-related fields such as energy, built environment, transportation, industry, land use, and earth science. It includes opportunities to utilize not only physical robots but also the full range of robotics tools, including planning, perception, control, and estimation algorithms, in a variety of applications such as energy system optimization, construction, precision agriculture, building envelope retrofits, autonomous trucks, and large-scale environmental monitoring. Ultimately, it aims to highlight specific and actionable problems at the intersection of robotics and climate change issues, thereby encouraging new research directions and collaborations. This research, conducted through collaboration between experts in various climate fields and robotics researchers, encourages the robotics community to apply its expertise to solve urgent climate problems.
