Keeping an eye on crops is essential to ensuring that you don't encounter problems later on in the process, which is what the 'AGRowBot' aims to help enable. The autonomous robot works by being used on small and medium-sized farms to rove around exterior farming areas to monitor crop health and keep an eye out for weeds, pests and disease. This allows independent farmers to spot problems far faster in order to help prevent crop loss on a mass scale because of an issue that could have been potentially corrected if early detection was made.
The 'AGRowBot' is the design work of Emerging Technology and offers an autonomous method of ensuring that optimal crop health is a top priority that doesn't require extensive team to maintain.
