The Climate Robotics White Paper
The first-ever comprehensive study on Climate Robotics. We draw on real-world examples to investigate the opportunities, limitations, and risks of using robotics in climate action.
What It Covers
Honest about the
opportunities — and

This is an Open and Community-driven White Paper, fully revised for 2025. We welcome feedback from researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and everyone in between.
Robots alone won't clean up our mess. Climate Robotics has limits and risks alongside its promise — and we're committed to surfacing all three.
