At PROTEAS, we host workshops that bring together roboticists and environmental experts to co-create sustainable solutions. By fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration, we empower researchers to integrate ecological insights into cutting-edge robotics. Our workshops provide a platform for knowledge exchange, hands-on experimentation, and problem-solving, ensuring that technological advancements align with planetary stewardship and industry. Through these partnerships, we cultivate a community where innovation meets sustainability, driving impactful projects for a greener future.

Assertions in ethics of environmental robotics
International Conference on Robot Ethics and Standards (ICRES) 2025
International Conference on Robot Ethics and Standards (ICRES) 2025
Background
This special session will critically explore ethical challenges unique to environmental and agricultural robotics. Unlike traditional robotics ethics, which often centre on human-robot interactions, environmental robotics could require an interspecies and ecological perspective. This means accounting for biodiversity, sustainability, and ecosystem balance in robotic design, deployment, and policy.
The session will adopt a provocation-based format, where speakers present assertions (bold claims) designed to challenge assumptions and spark discussion among researchers, policymakers, and technologists.
