                                       What  if you  could  deploy  robots  equipped  with  AI to  protect  endangered
                                       species from poachers and habitat destruction? How would these robots patrol
                                       protected areas and intervene in threatening situations?

                      ▶  Pre-programmed robots are designed to work in a controlled environment and their main function
                         is to perform repetitive tasks.
                      ▶  Autonomous robots are designed to work independently without any human intervention.

                      ▶  Teleoperated robots are semi-autonomous bots designed to be controlled from a distance.
                      ▶  Augmenting robots are designed to enhance human capability or replace the capabilities a human
                         may have lost.
                      ▶  Humanoid robots are designed to perform human-like activities by mimicking human behaviour.
