Our Robotic Farming Future: 5 Agro-Bots That Will Change How We Grow Everything

This looks like a common farm sight— a tractor and a grain cart. In fact, you're looking at fully autonomous, GPS-guided equipment that carries sensors to avoid obstacles. The Autonomous Harvest System is a collaboration between Kinze Manufacturing in Williamsburg, Iowa, and Jaybridge Robotics.

The Grizzly RUV from Clearpath Robotics is a big robot for big jobs like hay baling. It also has laser sensors precise enough that it can cultivate asparagus stalks ready for picking and detect cow urine so it knows where grass might need to be treated.

BAILING HAY & HUNTING COW URINE ABOVE UNIT

The eBee Ag from SenseFly is a drone that surveys the land from above, taking high-resolution shots to help farmers plan fertilizer spraying and planting. It can also create 3D images and overlays.
