Autonomous agricultural robot

Published on Jul 6, 2017

This autonomous agricultural robot is designed to to work in a research field at a major university. We built two of them for them and they are quite impressive.

They can be operated with a programmed route, or be controlled via 'point and click'. The latter has the operator choose waypoints on a map, and the robot navigates to it while avoiding obstacles.

AI-equipped tomato harvesting robots to farms may help to create jobs

Published on May 23, 2018

The number of people engaged in agriculture in Japan is decreasing, and the country's elderly population is rapidly increasing. Agricultural high-tech is one of the measures that are seen as a solution to these problems. In the midst of this, "harvesting robots" driven by AI and robotic technology are gathering attention. The idea is to leave harvesting work, which accounts for 20% of all agricultural work, to robots in order to increase efficiency. Advanced farms are already appearing that have put robots to work and are developing technology and know-how....
