Robotics, machine learning, data science, and mathematical modelling are just some of the tools that a group of researchers will use to forecast environmental changes across Antarctica as part of a seven-year research project.
To be led by Monash University, the Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future (SAEF) project will involve 30 Australian and overseas organisations, including Queensland University of Technology (QUT), University of Wollongong, University of New South Wales, James Cook University, University of Adelaide, the South Australian Museum, and the Western Australian Museum.

Nuro is using delivery robots to help health care workers fighting COVID-19 - The Verge
Nuro, the autonomous vehicle startup founded by two ex-Google engineers, is using its small fleet of road-legal delivery robots to transport medical supplies around two California stadiums that have been converted into treatment facilities for people stricken with COVID-19.
The coronavirus pandemic has forced self-driving car companies in California to temporarily shutdown their operations and ground their fleets, thanks to "shelter-in-place" orders that ban nonessential transportation. But Nuro realized it could still play a role in delivering goods for health care workers by using its R2 prototype vehicles.
Even Robots Aren't Immune. Here's Why Automation Isn't Booming During Coronavirus.
Results beat expectations and the stock traded up almost 10% in premarket trading. It's a big jump. But shares fell back to earth and are flat in early Wednesday trading. Sales in the company's robotic automation division dipped. Even robots, it seems, aren't immune from the Covid-19 coronavirus.
Teradyne (ticker: TER) reported earnings of $1 a share. Wall Street expected 88 cents. What's more, the $1 was higher than the company's guidance range of 86 to 96 cents. The company even exceeded management's highest expectations.

10 Examples Of Robots Helping To Fight COVID
As new information is learned about the spread of COVID, there comes a demand for robots to take over tasks from humans in high-risk areas. In many cases, robots are being used to limit human exposure and flatten the curve for the benefit of employees and customers. Only time will tell if employers will rehire humans once COVID passes, or if the robots will take jobs from humans in a post-COVID world. One thing we know for sure - customers are watching how businesses treat their employees.

The unsung heroes of the COVID-19 crisis? Robots
The lessons they’re teaching for the future are the same lessons learned during previous disasters but quickly forgotten as interest and funding faded. The best robots for a disaster are the robots, like those in these examples, that already exist in the healthcare and public safety sectors.
As roboticists at Texas A&M University and the Center for Robot-Assisted Search and Rescue , we examined over 120 press and social media reports from China, the U.S., and 19 other countries about how robots are being used during the COVID-19 pandemic. We found that ground and aerial robots are playing a notable role in almost every aspect of managing the crisis.
