Agricultural robots & robots in food pocessing
SDG 2: End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture
- 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
