“AI powered tethered drones picking apples 🤯
These drones use AI image recognition models to determine ripeness and sugar levels in the apples.
Then they use a little arm to pick them.
AI & robotics will completely revolutionize the agriculture industry.”
Cool stuff. I worked on a farm that had a converted solar tractor at one point.
But what I’m envisioning is more like Boston dynamics style robotics in a small package that can climb and/or fly. This will allow harvesting taller tree crops in a way that is essentially impossible today. But it may be a while before that technology is cheap and accessible enough for small-scale actors to develop these types of tools. The powers that be won’t pursue something that radical.
