Joseph Jones, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Franklin Robotics based in the United States participate in Risk Roundup to discuss Agricultural Robots.
Agricultural Robots
Since technology helps us solve the complex challenges facing humanity, and has become the most important driver for change, no nation or its industries can imagine survival, success, or sustainability without integrating technology to change the way they do things. The agriculture industry is no exception!
From robots to drones and the internet of things, technology seems to be fundamentally changing the agriculture industry. As technology tries to change the way we do things and solve the complex challenges facing the agriculture industry, it is important to understand and evaluate:
- Technology trends
- Agriculture industry transformation
- Agricultural robots
In the coming years, the biggest challenge facing the world is likely going to be, to produce enough food to feed the growing world population. However, the reality of the agriculture system today is that across many nations, the farming system is complex, inefficient, low-yielding, fragile, and highly heterogeneous.
Amidst the poor performance and productivity, agriculture robots bring a promise of great potential to manage the complex challenges facing the industry. While the ability to create autonomous intelligent robots with perception, cognition, and action, that are affordable, accessible, effective, and could manage the complex challenges facing the agriculture industry is real, clear, and near, it is important to evaluate the complex challenges that come with industrial automation.
Time is now to talk about Agricultural Robots and their associated risks!
