Autonomous robotic weeding: trends, technologies, players

This is the 4th article in our series of articles focused on agricultural robotics. In this article we consider the trends towards autonomous robotic weeding enabled by AI based vision technology and navigational autonomy.

Agricultural robots: bringing data to least digitised major industry

Agriculture is one of the world's least digitized major industries. This is however all about to change. Indeed, data acquisition and analytics companies are already a hot topic, and as such are subject to growing capital investments. This trend is captured in the figure below.

Robotics is the future of agrochemicals business

Crop protection, chemicals and robotics at first appear totally unrelated, yet IDTechEx Research finds that steady improvements in agricultural robotics will, slowly but surely, fundamentally alter the crop protection chemicals business.

Adaptable multi-purpose robotic platform for the agricultural industry

The Bonirob robot, which is approximately the size of a compact car, uses video- and lidar-based positioning as well as satellite navigation to find its way around fields.
