TreeRover is a robot that autonomously plant trees in areas suffer from deforestation.TreeRover is autonomous and plants trees without the help of human interaction. It's still in its beginning stages with hopes of adding all-terrain tires and improved navigation. This Robot was developed by two students from UVic.

TreeRover is powered by compressed air and two wheelchair batteries operated by remote control. Heard about Remote control? Have you finished your Beginner level? You might have controlled your robot with Bluetooth controller in the second level right?They send commands to the robot via a wireless radio module that’s connected to our laptop.

The seedling hopper will slide forward, it will drop a single tree seedling into this main spike tube. The pneumatic piston drives the tube into the earth, leaving the tree seedling in the earth and then it retracts the spike tube and the tree seedling has been planted. They are hoping to add more autonomous aspects such as GPS and obstacle avoidance.
