In a groundbreaking leap for environmental technology, Brazilian company AutoAgroMachines, led by innovator Marcello Guimarães, has introduced Forest.bot, an AI-driven, fully electric robot designed to transform global reforestation efforts. Capable of planting 1,800 seedlings per hour—roughly one every two seconds—Forest.bot can restore up to 86,000 trees in a single day, covering an area almost the size of two football fields.
What sets Forest.bot apart is its ability to plant with precision on uneven or rugged terrain, thanks to a specialized sliding mechanism that ensures every seedling is placed at the optimal depth and spacing for healthy growth. But planting is only the beginning of what this robot can do.
Equipped with advanced AI systems and environmental sensors, Forest.bot can also:
Map entire forest areas
Monitor seedling health in real time
Detect pests and deploy targeted interventions
Manage irrigation based on soil moisture
Rehydrate stressed or drying plants
Collect ecological data for long-term restoration strategies
This makes it one of the world’s first fully integrated forest-care robots, designed not just to plant trees but to ensure they survive and thrive.
Funded with ₹13 crore (R$ 8 million) and recognized by the University of Cambridge for its innovation, Forest.bot has already begun expanding beyond Brazil. Countries like Argentina have adopted the technology, supported by major organizations including Suzano, one of the world’s largest pulp and paper producers.
Entirely developed using Brazilian technology, Forest.bot is a critical tool in Brazil’s ambitious mission to restore 12 million hectares of forest by 2030. Experts say it could help rewrite the global approach to ecological restoration by combining speed, precision, and long-term care into one powerful machine.
As deforestation and climate challenges escalate worldwide, Forest.bot stands as a symbol of how AI and sustainability can work hand-in-hand to rebuild the planet—one seedling at a time.
