UN Sustainable Development Goals

Robots emerge as potent and versatile tools applicable across diverse sectors, encompassing both industry and services.
They hold significant potential to contribute to societal advancement in achieving the United Nations' sustainable development goals.
Sustainability, in this context, extends beyond mere economic or environmental concerns; it represents a universal commitment to eradicating poverty, safeguarding the planet, and ensuring global peace and prosperity for all by the year 2030.

Agricultural robots & robots in  food pocessing

Robots help to limit the need for chemical control and fertilizers with a high degree of predictability and precision.
Small lightweight swarm robots reduce soil compaction and positively impact vegetation.
Automation in food production and processing can minimize food waste with a growing ability to handle more unequal products (different size and variations or organic grown vegetables).
- Camera technology, artificial intelligence and collaborative robots are increasing the ability to deal with the huge variation in raw material.
Agricultural robots help monitor soil conditions, the health of plants and animals and adapt actions to very local conditions, even plant by plant
Robots can help increased the yield in food production.
- Use of a milking robot increases the amount per day that a cow produces
Vertical gardening & greenhouses increase the yield per m² used
