China Robot Harvest ++
Published on Apr 26, 2019
Field testing of variable-stiffness tomato picking robot on commercial tomato crops in Shanghai, China in January 2019. Fully autonomous picking loop, manual positioning for this experiment. Variable-stiffness picking arm from Fieldwork Robotics Ltd, UK, modified for tomatoes. Tests done at Sunqiao agricultural research station in Pudong, Shanghai. Thanks to ATCNN, Newton, De Tao, and Rothamsted. Thanks also to partners at Sunqiao and SJTU in China, University of Plymouth and Fieldwork Robotics Ltd in the UK. Video featuring Frederico Belmont Klein, Benjamin M. Green, and Dr. Martin F. Stoelen.
The tomato whisperer – artificial intelligence in agriculture
Published on May 9, 2019
An encounter at the crossroads of tomorrow’s agriculture and traditional farming: how Bosch AI "Plantect" helped Tadashi Fukuoka, a Japanese tomato grower, increase his farm’s yield, save time, and dispense with some worries.
Automated driving methods for smart farming
Published on May 13, 2019
Tecnalia CorporationSmart farming has introduced a high level of automation and saved millions of tons of pesticides. The missing link for optimizing farming is heading in the direction of autonomous operations in order to optimize resources, increase the level of efficiency and reduce costs. The aim is to transfer technologies from the automotive domain and adapt them to the agriculture sector as much as possible, adding additional features, such as the introduction of new type of sensors, platforms and/or communication networks. The developed V&V tools and demonstrators will improve the testing workflow for autonomous farming systems.
The next global agricultural revolution | Bruce Friedrich
Published on Jun 19, 2019
Conventional meat production causes harm to our environment and presents risks to global health, but people aren't going to eat less meat unless we give them alternatives that cost the same (or less) and that taste the same (or better). In an eye-opening talk, food innovator and TED Fellow Bruce Friedrich shows the plant- and cell-based products that could soon transform the global meat industry -- and your dinner plate.

AI Does Food | Joel Cuello | TEDxUofA
Published on Sep 28, 2018
Our planet sorely needs the help of artificial intelligence to achieve the increase in food production that our growing population demands in the face of scarce resources.
AI will help realize Cuello’s Law, which is the projected industry goal that crop productivity per unit resource use in a tech-dense vertical farm must double every 4-5 years.
The Global Marshall Plan for AI-based Food Production is introduced here to provide capacity building so that no nation is left behind in AI-based food production, making sure that AI will be used to produce food sustainably, not only for some, but for all of us on the planet.
Joel Cuello is a Professor of Biosystems Engineering and Director of the Global Initiative for Strategic Agriculture in Dry Lands (GISAD) at The University of Arizona. A globally recognized expert in the engineering of sustainable biological and agricultural systems, Joel has designed various engineered systems, including those applied in bioregenerative space life support, industrial mass production of algae cultures, and vertical farming.
Are indoor vertical farms the future of agriculture? | Stuart Oda
Feb 7, 2020
By 2050, the global population is projected to reach 9.8 billion. How are we going to feed everyone? Investment-banker-turned-farmer Stuart Oda points to indoor vertical farming: growing food on tiered racks in a controlled, climate-proof environment. In a forward-looking talk, he explains how this method can maintain better safety standards, save money, use less water and help us provide for future generations.
