This “intelligent sharpshooter” farming robot distinguishes crops from weeds — and it could help feed 10 billion people. The world population will hit 10 billion around the year 2050. We must use our farmland efficiently in order to feed everyone, and one solution is to employ autonomous robots. One of these robots is an “intelligent sharpshooter” that can distinguish crops from weeds and then it shoots them with the appropriate treatment. Because of such high precision, the robot uses 95% less chemicals than traditional sprayers. The robot also scans the entire farm and is able to geolocate each plant accurately within centimetres.
