Additionally, it’s partnering with other companies – an example is given below.Ī biotech company which is in the process of acquiring Monsanto – a company associated with genetically modified farm foods. With its tremendous resources, Bosch is not only establishing business units like DeepField Robotics, it’s also developing farm robots like Bonirob within the company. If it can engage in strawberry-picking effectively enough, it could solve all the arguments in the US about immigration, since many legal migrants cross the border to work in the agriculture sector.Ī relatively lightweight vehicle, this solar-powered weeding robot can be used for weeding and reduce the reliance on pesticides, according to startup EcoRobotix, which raised $11 million to grow its business.Įstablished as a business unit by industrial giant Bosch, DeepField Robotics would seem to have a bright future, by the admission of the people in charge – there are just so many solutions that could be developed for the sector. This startup has developed a strawberry-picking autonomous vehicle. Futuristic and impressive, the driverless vehicles is probably beyond the means of most small farms. Judging from the picture, farms can be the size of a typical shipping container.ĬNH Industrial is a huge name in the agricultural sector, and its autonomous tractor concept is appropriately epic. This company claims to have developed a fully automated indoor farming system that can be managed from anywhere in the world. So, without any dope-fuelled procrastination, let’s get to the list, which includes links to related articles we may have published previously. In some areas, these indoor or vertical farms could be used to grow marijuana, but mostly, what’s being discussed is fruit and vegetables. And – probably most surprisingly – the prospect of farms moving to urban areas, and taking the shape of what are called “indoor farms” or “vertical farms”. Not only is a new generation of intelligent machines or robots ready to work on farms, there is a variety of sensor-based monitoring systems ready to flourish within the ecosystem of the internet of things which will, inevitably, assimilate farms.Īdditionally, there are drones to consider. But increasingly it is being joined by machines that can think and make decisions for themselves – within given parameters of course.
