A Model-Based Integrated Drone and AI Ecological Restoration Solution

Visitors are attentively listening to the explanation of the solution.


[Industry Daily]

An ecological restoration solution that combines drones and AI (artificial intelligence) for natural environment management has been unveiled.

Nature-tech startup InvaLab showcased its AI- and drone-based integrated ecological restoration solution at the 2nd Korea Social Value Festa. The event was held at COEX in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, on the 25th and 26th.

The solution remotely surveys areas in need of ecological management using drones, focusing on wildfire-damaged sites and regions densely populated with invasive species. Data collected through infrared, LiDAR, and vision sensors mounted on the drones is then analyzed by AI to propose ecological restoration strategies.

It also produces seed balls needed for restoration of damaged areas. This involves selecting native species and mixing soil suitable for the target site. The seed balls can be sown by drones, enabling coverage of about 0.5 hectares in just one hour.

After restoration work, drones are deployed for periodic remote monitoring to diagnose the site and provide post-management reports.

An InvaLab representative said, “Until now, ecological restoration has often relied on ad-hoc responses whenever abnormalities occurred. By establishing long-term, data-driven plans, we can reduce costs and improve management efficiency.”

He added, “Using drones allows us to easily monitor rugged areas that are difficult for people to access. We are also developing a SaaS platform that applies Digital Twin technology to provide the ecological restoration process in 3D.”
