Ryan attended a workshop on automated forest restoration organised by the Forest Restoration Unit of Chiang Mai University, Thailand. Participants discussed current and future technologies for automated forest restoration, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), LiDAR, and algorithms for plant species recognition. A field trip gave participants the opportunity to see UAVs delivering seeds to a target, harvesting seeds from trees, and watering vegetation.
