How could robots affect climate change?
I was thinking since we can program robots to go underwater, on land and even in space. We can use robots to solve alot of our problems.
CLIMATE CHANGE
If you don't know what climate change is climate change is when the earth gets too warm and because of that it destroys the earth and many animal habitats. This is bad because animals like polar bears and penguins are getting their homes destroyed.
How we can solve it by using robots: We could program the robots to find a way to cook our food without it affecting the planet. We could also create a robot that can keep cold habitats cold.
What features do you think a robot should have to solve climate change?
THE OCEAN
Lately, there has been alot of plastic going into the ocean. This is bad because the creatures in the sea will think it's food so they will eat it and probably die. We should try and use reuseable plastic so we can save some plastic and save the ocean because very soon there might not be anymore plastic for us to use and there might be more plastic than fish in the sea.
How we can solve it by using robots: We could create a robot that is able to go underwater that can pick out all the plastic out of the ocean when it sees some. Doing this, the robots could be able to spot some plastic before the fish do and can bring it back to land.
Do you have any problems that you think a robot could solve?
What features do you think the robot would need to have to conquere those problems?
Thanks for reading!

Great ideas but if we send robots underwater they could easily get eaten like u said any animals underwater could think that the robots were food and this would be worse because they have a lot more electrical parts and they could get electrocuted which would be worse and it could hurt the animal more then plastic in a way. It would be very hard to keep it coldness in places and also the robots cooking food won't really change climes change because wha will you use to keep the robot going but I like they way you think :) good post
Thanks for the feedback

Hey about this robots are made of various materials such as metal and plastic. Your first point could be possible if scientists change their materials to help with theses situations, if robots helped us now it would be a disaster, if the robots cooked our food the plastic would melt causing toxic fumes, same with metal it would melt causing toxic fumes which is bad for human health.
Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you delightful_effort for this post it really got me thinking. First of all, before we think of ways that robots can solve the climate crisis and plastic in the ocean etc. , don't we need to find away that robots, like cars, don't make the climate crisis any worse that it already is? Secondly, how could robots help to solve the covid crisis? I personally think that there are many reasons how robots could help with the cause including raising money for climate activists, litter picking on a beach, helping build electric or hibrid cars and finally, changing people's views so they feel more strongly about helping the planet. Here is how it would work:
Raising money for climate activists - As it has been proven, robots can make a lot of stuff including toothbrushes and tin cans etc. Therefore, it should be simple for a robot to make some cupcakes or more toothbrushes to sell and all the money would go to the activists.
Litter picking- This is pretty simple as all you need is an amazingly built robot and a great programmer to programme the robots to sense any plastic among the sand and store it in a bag.
I hope you enjoyed hearing my opinion, poetic_passionfruit
I liked your opinion 🤗

Amazing idea! But, if robots go in the ocean, won't they either just die in a sense or explode since its water with electricity?
I think that the robots will probably shut down and get broken completely because water and pretty much any electrical device will get broken in the sea.Programers/coders and maybe scientists will have to create a water-proof robot to get plastic out of the ocean. And who knows how long that might take?
Maybe is scientist change the material they are made out of?

Although robots are great for all of these reasons there still is a slight chance that they might get corona virus and if they come into contact with anyone then they will probably get it to thus making the virus spread even more.
And even though this could happen robots have already helped a lot during lockdown they have helped out by taking people's temperature and giving people hand sanatiser and if this was all possible then robots could be very very helpful in the future perhaps.

Hi there, delightful_effort I can see that you put a lot of thought into your post so well done!
I have a question though?
Wouldn't robots be made out part of plastic and wont that be affecting the ocean??
That’s a good idea decisive_redcucurrant !
Scientists can change the material the robots are made out of
yes but what if that was the only material in the world
I don't think that's possible but If it was, we could find another way to save the ocean :)

They may use more oil/gas
