Cultivation of vegetables by robots
Scientists have developed a number of robots that can easily perform any task. And this trend is still going on. Recently, a robot that can grow vegetables has been developed in the United States. This new robot The machines on the farm are caring for green leafy vegetables under the supervision of software called "The Brain". The robot has been developed by a company called Iron-Ox. "We are a farm and will always be a farm," said founder Brendan Alexander.
The company will soon open a factory in San Carlos, near San Francisco. Spread over an area of 8,000 square feet, this hydroponic plant is attached to them and it is expected that their annual production will be about 26,000 vegetables. This is equivalent to the production of five times larger farms. Wants to build a farm, which will use software and robotics instead of human farmworkers. The company has not yet sold its fruits and vegetables. Talks are underway with restaurants and vegetable sellers. Now only salad leaves have been sent to a local food bank. The farm's inhumane staff consists of robotic parts. These parts move plants from hydroponic trays to larger trays, which improves both their health and productivity, making it impossible for any ordinary farm to do so. Large mechanical devices are used to move 800-pound water-filled trays from one place to another. According to experts, in the past, working with these different machines together was proving to be very complicated.
"That's why Iron Ox has developed software called The Brain to improve this connection." , Which monitors nitrogen, temperature, and the location of the robot, keeping a close eye on the farm. In addition, he draws the attention of both robots and humans as needed. Although most operations are automated, they require human attention. Humans now help plant and process plant seeds, but Alexander hopes that these steps will be automated soon. Experts believe that this will soon solve two problems at once. One is the lack of work in agriculture and the other is the problem of transporting fresh vegetables. The company hopes the robots will help fill the agricultural industry's manpower shortage rather than cut jobs. In addition, growing vegetables closer to urban areas will make more fresh vegetables available in stores. However, it is important that the prices of this start-up company compete with those of its traditional competitors. Investment is required. This is not possible for small farmers. In this way, there is a big difference between large and small farms in terms of access to new technology. Ampetzids says that the introduction of automation in both indoor and outdoor farming can solve the shortage of manpower in the agricultural industry. If no other way to emigrate to the United States is found, there is no solution other than automation.
