I'm Building
From all 3 grant I was and still am working on a higly efficient and adaptive tree planting hexapod to end with reforestation limitations.
Bio
Marta Bernardino is a skilled technical builder currently involved with projects at the intersection of robotics and conservation. She received funding from the 1517 Fund, Innova Junior Enterprise, and the National Geographic Slingshot Challenge to develop a highly efficient and adaptive tree-planting hexapod designed to overcome reforestation challenges. Previously, Marta demonstrated her passion for mechanics and electronics by building robots since the age of 9 and founding a local robotics lab, where she created Trovador, a hexapod aimed at planting saplings in deforested rural areas.",.
