Forabot

  • Forabot is a type of robot. This new technology can automate sorting, manipulating and identifying microscopic marine fossils (Foraminifera). Its use will help in studying oceans and climate.
  • Different types of Foraminifera (Foram) species thrive in the ocean environment and physical inspection and sorting of forams require human time and effort. Forabot has an accuracy rate of 79 per cent for identifying forams, which is better than most trained humans.
  • The robot’s AI uses images to identify the type of foram and sorts it accordingly. Foraminifera, also called forams, are very simple micro-organisms which have existed in our oceans for more than 100 million years.
