Agriculture has always been a fundamental part of human civilization, providing the food and resources necessary for survival. However, as the global population continues to rise and climate change presents new challenges, the need for efficient agriculture farm management has become increasingly critical. Implementing modern technologies and innovative practices can help optimize productivity, ...
For centuries, farmers have relied on intuition, experience, and a hint of superstition to nurture their crops. While time-honored technologies still have value, the modern agricultural landscape has a powerful ally: precision agriculture. At the heart of this revolution is a silent orchestra of information-gathering heroes: soil sensor. Whispering wisdom from the earth: Gone are the days of ...
However, there has been remarkable progress in engineering in marine environments, and technology more broadly, since the 1970s. Could advances in robotics help kelp farms scale? The startup Marine BioEnergy could be seen in some sense as a descendant of OFEF, as it was founded by the son of Dr Howard Wilcox, Brian Wilcox, and his wife, Cindy. Marine BioEnergy ...
“Precision agriculture and robotic systems will allow farms to be more profitable, efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly. As precision agriculture (PA) becomes bigger and farms become more connected in the coming years, efficiency and productivity will increase ...
With wheels no bigger than a go-kart and a squat square chassis that weighs 200kg, the future of farm robotics looks like a midget by the standards of modern tractors. Yet the diminutive platform, called Thorvald, is the size of things to come, according to British scientists pioneering autonomous farming. Smaller robots are ...
That is according to a new report from the Financial Times, which cites the creation of a new farming robot named Thorvald, designed to do unskilled but laborious tasks on the UK's farms post-Brexit. ...
