Using Artificial Intelligence, Agricultural Robots Are On The Rise On High Tech Farms Stock Image

Using artificial intelligence, agricultural robots are on the rise. High-tech farming is no oxymoron. A contemporary agricultural operation is more likely to resemble Silicon Valley than American Gothic, with apps that control irrigation, GPS systems that steer tractors and RFID-chipped ear tags that monitor livestock. And agricultural robots play a key part of that technological stable.Agricultural robots pick apples, gather strawberries, harvest lettuce and strip away weeds. Drones gather aerial images that help farmers quickly assess crop health. And robotic greenhouses are sprouting up thousands of miles away from traditional farmland regions, growing vegetables in the backyards of high-consumption urban markets.
