-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 new [[http://proefstationmidwest.nl/|MidWest Experimental Station]] a research station set up by FoAM in Amsterdam, could function as a test area for ecological robotics and study interactions between biomes and mechanical organisms.\\+Anthropocentric landscapes are characterized by reduced biodiversity and ecosystem functions.

 **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?\\ **Topics:** Could artificial beings contribute to biodiversity, microclimates, pollination, zoochorie, reforestation or even fill vacant ecological niches?

 +**Agriculture bots:**\\
 +Harvesting and Tractors:\\
 +Tractors do two things: provide guidance to the devices they are towing, and pulling power. Current tractors are huge and if they break down, the entire operation comes to a halt. Autonomous machines don't need operators and can operate around the clock. Thus tight operational windows can be achieved for seeding and other time-sensitive activities.\\
