 **Keywords:** ecological robotics, restoration ecology, artificial organisms, artscience, foodwebs, trophic cascades, biodiversity, groworld.\\
 \\
 **Outline:**\\
-Anthropocentric landscapes are characterized by reduced biodiversity and ecosystem functions. Traditionally the engeneering focus on landscape maintainance has been primarily on efficiently extracting these landscapes, in industrial agriculture, forestry, mining and tourism. Machine Ecology is a project proposal sketching out the potential for artificial organisms as a functional part of ecosystems, contributing to biodiversity. The newly set-up MidWest Experimental Station a research station in Amsterdam could function as a test area for ecological robotics and study interactions between biomes and mechanical organisms.\\

 \\
 **Topics:** Could artificial beings contribute to biodiversity, microclimates, pollination, zoochorie, reforestation or even fill vacant ecological niches? Could artificial beings interact symbiotically in food-webs? Use foraging strategies as a power source? Predate on invasive species, or enable trophic cascades to create more biodiverse landscapes?\\
