Overview

AUTONOMIC will introduce a paradigm shift by implementing an AI-empowered robotic system for autonomous, periodic environmental monitoring of snow, water, and soil, promoting sustainable development in northern regions and fostering cross-border collaboration and innovation between Sweden and Finland.

The project will study and demonstrate technologies for sampling and detecting industry- and climate change-related compounds and pollutants to enhance our understanding of the acceleration of climate change in Arctic regions. AUTONOMIC will demonstrate its technologies in the runoff water of the Tornio River into the Baltic Sea, in meltwater, and in stormwater, enriching understanding of biodiversity loss, ocean acidification, snowmelt rate, and water eutrophication.
