Roboton Farmer robot revolutionizes agriculture in Washington State
A new robot called Roboton Farmer is being tested in Washington State to automate agricultural practices, starting with apple orchards. It uses artificial intelligence to perform tasks like seeding, watering, and fertilizing, improving efficiency and conserving resources. Roboton operates 24/7, addressing labor shortages and using solar power to eliminate fuel needs. Its design conserves water and reduces pesticide use, making it suitable for organic farming. The robot can be controlled via mobile apps for convenience. Roboton is now available for farmers and can adapt to various crops. Its modular design suggests potential applications in other fields, including construction and humanitarian aid.
