Redefining production activities in row crops. To this end, the Czech company Roboton has recently developed its open-field robot, the Roboton Farmer – an autonomous, electrically powered vehicle capable of performing a wide range of tasks, from soil preparation and seeding to weeding and irrigation Equipped with a robotic arm and a standard three-point hitch, the new Roboton Farmer can operate in combination with any towed implement, managed through pre-set operating parameters within its control system. These parameters can also be modified as needed via a mobile application or web-based…

Robotic Centipedes. The American company Ground Control Robotics and Georgia Tech University, both based in Atlanta, Georgia, have developed a prototype of a modular robot whose structure closely mimics that of a centipede This design of Robotic Centipedes was chosen as it is considered the most suitable for allowing the robot to operate at ground level, examining weeds up close and almost directly with its onboard cameras, and then neutralizing them either with targeted herbicide sprays or mechanically using gripping tools. The robot’s multi-legged, morphologically redundant locomotion system also ensures…

AI in agriculture? Help, but it won’t solve the planet’s food shortage

Redazione

Furio Oldani Last month, thanks to the era of electronics and innovation “CES” in Las Vegas, there was a lot of talk about artificial intelligence, acronym “AI”. Of the possibilities it opens up for social development, but also of the dangers that can arise from its misuse. Macchine Trattori also talked about it, warning against confusing traditional algorithms with real artificial intelligence software. The future is the optimization of manufacturing work The boundary line between the two worlds is indeed thin, inherent in the so-called “self-learning”, the ability of AI…
