⁣Future of farming: AI-enabled Robot flexes new dexterity skills Where will your next meal come from? You probably know, but millions of people do not. The food supply chain is facing a crisis. Population growth, labor shortages and centuries of over-farming and environmental abuse threaten one of our most basic needs. The issue of agriculture sustainability is a people problem. But it might be the robots that save humanity. 1. FarmWise (AI based Farming Robots Built for Farmers) FarmWise builds smart and autonomous robots to solve the problem of weeds in agriculture, saving farmers time and money, and providing their consumers with healthier products. Work with the best engineers in their field, from Computer Vision to Robotics and mechanical engineering. Bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-life products by testing your work on the field, literally. Have a real impact by solving the burning issues that farming is facing while building the new paradigm for the future of food production. - Vision Technology : A suite of sensors allows our robots to perceive a wide range of information about each plant. We use that information together with state-of-the-art learning algorithms to know what’s best for this particular plant at this particular time. - Robotic Hardware : Data alone won’t be sufficient to solve farmers’ desperate need for better processes. ➡ http://farmwise.io/ • Headquarters : San Francisco, California • Contact : contact@farmwise.io ● 2. Root AI Root AI is a research company aiming to create intelligent robots that will help growers build the farms of the future. Root AI is proud to introduce the Virgo harvesting robot.

TerraSentia Cross a John Deere with a Roomba, and You Get This Crop-Monitoring Robot. Farms are a hotbed for automation. Robots, drones, and artificial intelligence have been assisting in agriculture for years and 2017 showed they could farm an acre and a half of barley, from planting to tending and harvesting, without a human stepping foot on the field. TerraSentia travels under the canopy autonomously using only LiDAR based navigation. TerraSentia platform: unique under-canopy data collection, autonomous navigation, and machine-vision based analytics. ➡ https://www.earthsense.co ● 4. Vegebot - Cambridge Univ. Machine Learning Helps Robot Harvest Lettuce for the First Time. The robot is not near a commercial stage but instead has been developed to pioneer new computer vision and engineering processes for future agricultural outcomes. Crops such as potatoes and wheat have been harvested mechanically at scale for decades, but many other crops have to date resisted automation. Iceberg lettuce is one such crop. Although it is the most common type of lettuce grown in the UK, iceberg is easily damaged and grows relatively flat to the ground, presenting a challenge for robotic harvesters. The ‘Vegebot’, developed by a team at the University of Cambridge, was initially trained to recognise and harvest iceberg lettuce in a lab setting. It has now been successfully tested in a variety of field conditions in cooperation with G’s Growers, a local fruit and vegetable co-operative. ➡ https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/r... 👉• PDF : https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/e... ● 5. Blue River Technology Computer vision, machine learning and robotics for agriculture. Blue River Technology, a pioneer in the use of computer vision and robotics for agriculture. Founded in 2011 by two Stanford University Alumni, Blue River Technology is developing an alternative to chemical intensive agriculture, which is both expensive and hazardous to the environment. With breakthrough computer vision techniques for identifying weeds and selectively killing unwanted plants, Blue River Technology’s equipment is significantly more efficient than traditional methods of weed elimination. Its automated solution is particularly well-suited. ➡ http://bluerivert.com #farming #robot #ai
