Machine farmers are coming, laser weeding, drip control, is expected to come out in 2020

The agricultural upgrading driven by robotics is opening up new space for the improvement of farmers' lives. Today's agricultural robots have a huge space for development in China. In addition to farming, pesticides, harvesting and other field operations, agricultural robots can also play an important role in animal husbandry. Robots will bring a new revolution to agriculture.

The robot will help farmers harvest vegetables. Scientists have developed farm robots that harvest when the crop is fully ripe, and it removes vegetables that cannot be eaten. Experts predict that this robot will be put into use as early as 2020.

Now that the crops are harvested once, this can be wasteful and sometimes waste 60% of the crop.

To solve this problem, engineers at Harper Adams University are developing a machine that can automatically sow, remove weeds, spray water, spray, and eliminate the need for people to enter the farm.

We can also program the machine to harvest when the crop is fully ripe. Researchers predict that robots can be used on farmland by 2020.

Professor Simon Blackmore said: "We are developing a new agricultural machinery system based on small intelligent machines. We are also developing laser weeding and drip control technology to ensure 100% chemical spray Go to the target, control the harvest, and pick the best harvest time."

Blackmer also said that 20-60% of the crops were abandoned because the harvest time was wrong, the supermarket would not buy bad vegetables, and consumers would not buy them.

When picking tomatoes and lettuce, the robot will pick the best, not the worst. Some lettuce may not be picked up for sale today, but it can grow better next week and can be sold at that time.

The developer did not disclose how the robot worked and did not know how much it cost.
