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 safer in the event of a malfunction and they do not compact the soil like tractors weighing five tonnes, so water can soak into the ground more easily and plants can spread their roots.
