Meet SlothBot!
Most robots help speed things up. But SlothBot was built to move as slowly as a sloth (and to look like one too)! The robot runs on a cable hung between trees. By lingering over an area for a long time, SlothBot can observe animals for months, or even years. Scientists want to eventually use SlothBot to gather information that could help them save endangered species.
