A company that is using technology from space exploration built an AI-assisted farming robots. The semi-autonomous robot is called Adam and can carry picked produce across difficult terrain as well as cut grass and spray fields with pesticides. The larger Adam is 70 centimeters high and 188 centimeters in length, and is aimed primarily at apple and pear farmers, with a large truckbed to carry produce or fertilizer.
The smaller Adam, about one third of the size, is targeting grape and persimmon farms, which are planted in narrower rows. An online platform called Newton, which gives farmers real-time insights into crops, diseases, and farm management. Adam is expected to retail for around $20,000 on international markets. Adam is approaching commercial release and has been radically transformed from early versions based on feedback from the farmers.
