Conservation
FROGs
Monitoring and deterrence in the wild.
FROGs stands for Field Robotics for Observation & Guardianship.
The need
The places that most need watching are the hardest to watch
Wildlife and habitats are often far from roads, power and reliable connectivity. The teams who protect them are small and can't be everywhere. Being there in person can also disturb the animals and places they are trying to protect.
What FROGs do
Collect data, raise alerts, support deterrence
FROGs are field systems designed to do three jobs.
Collect data
Keep continuous watch over species and sites, and gather the data.
Alert
Tell people when they need to step in.
Support deterrence
Give people the interface to operate deterrence tools remotely.
FROGs run on the same backbone as Autonomy Nodes, built for places with limited power and patchy connectivity.
The model
Monitoring and deterrence as a service
FROGs are provided as a service, not sold as equipment. Conservation partners get the data, the alerts and the deterrence tools, without having to buy the technology.
Next step
Tell us about your site
FROGs are in development. We are looking for conservation partners who have a site to protect and a problem that today's tools don't solve.
