First, I'm not sure I see exactly how this helps the local community. Also, harvesting has been ignored so I'm thinking of crops like maize, tomatoes, potatoes, yams, cabbage, kale… How do these get harvested efficiently without heavy machinery in a way that won't interfere or crush the soil?
Another slug bot perhaps.
everybody is interested in technology if you tell them that everybody is interested in tech. is this another tech consumer crap?
The problem is chemical fertilizers are retarded we don't need them
Have a job opening?
Smells like a scam to me.
we would love to try these small produce farmers
Great. 1000 x the machines, 1000 x the breakdowns and maintenance.
Is it available in india
From the same crowd that brought you Skylon!
What if the crop needs to be hilled before planting or planted into a drill?
What happens when the crop grows? How will a robot get to say a wheat plant in the field, you'd need loads of tramways which surely means less yeild?! And what crops how these robots be used form potatoes and oil seed rape grow in very different ways surely these can't do it all?!
I'm suprised Jeff Bozo has'nt already offerd "Harry" $1,0000,00000… oh wait he's busy trying to compete with space x. #facepalm
In name of Robotics and AI, every one is scamming investors and government.
So. No. Try HMI. It works and is cost effective. The objective is to not add chemicals. No farmers were harmed in the making of this video. And. No farmers were involved either.
Ripper robot seems years ahead of these guys https://youtu.be/XP7GoNKcTS4
Works a bit like a Eclipse Rover
I might not know better but it seems to me that this technology development appears a bit naïve in its making considering the equipment you're using. The smart part is the software and I agree with that but it doesn't mean the robot needs to have 3rd grade components
That little car looks to delicate to be a farming tool.
I feel drones will do better that these rovers without destroying the crops
Harry looks like a giant spider.
heavy equipment does not do that much compaction. Tractor tires are 50 cm wide especially to do less compaction. Soil needs to be plowed because of many reasons among which is breaking it up for easier root growth. The overall idea is good – just learn your reasons well first.
Point application of fertilizer is promising, but that little robot is going to need to make A LOT of trips. Some crops like wheat can tolerate being run over by a little robot, other crops like corn or soybeans, probably can't.
Morons – will make robots for farmers, sell them cheap while farmers will cash in BIG! Fools!
Where are the results? It's a farming robot, so where is the produce?
Their is potential for robotics in agriculture, but we need to see a little more than a rc car with a GPS and a CAD design of the future full scale model. No field owner is ever going to buy your product unless you show them increased yield and profit, neither of which you have demonstrated.
I'd like to / we should build an open source flying drone software to give the drone a mapped area where it will harvest all of the fruit of all plants in that area automatically. The drone could track each piece of fruit updating the website with info like how many tomatoes, how many mangos, almonds, onions, chili peppers, etc it expects to harvest the next day so that local residents could request the fruit to be delivered straight from the plant to their doorstep. I will make everything open source and donate the drone (with solar panels to charge it) too so the food will be free for all within its area. The amount of fruit that matures on plants, falls to the ground and is wasted all around us is staggering, plus the same drone could also recognize ideal areas to plant different seeds and plant, care for, track and harvest them too. The drone, or another version of it would also be able to prune and harvest coconut trees as well, landing by grasping onto the upper trunk of the tree, then driving up and down and around for the automated trimming and harvesting. Anyone want to join me in the project to help feed the world for free?
In the future, I plan to add a sub group to C'8 (www.c8coordinate.com) under our search filter Aid Type / Food & Water where an automated donated solar charged food harvesting drone can plant, manage and harvest fruit and vegetables within its mapped urban (for ex) region, updating the C'8 aid offer posts updating the system including predicting maturity quantities and dates with all food delivered direct from the plant to a user's door all for free. People within the region will be able to opt in or partially in selectively allowing the drone to harvest from their property, sharing to the system.
Call me overly positive, but I think we’re leaving the era of ‘greed is good’ and celebrating wealth and entering an #EraOfAltruism and equality. Let’s #AutomateEverything and #SkipToAbundance.

Hi,does this sort of robot available for india
Everyone thinks the only reason for plowing is to fix compaction. That is true and necessary in high clay content soils, but a lot of people also do it for weed control.
these jocks have never been into farming
HAY QUÁ! CÓ BÁN KHÔNG BẠN ƠI, GIÁ BAO NHIÊU VẬY?
Interesting. Wouldn't the harvesting still require heavy machinery?
Badd business model. Show how it work:)
Great philosophy powered with ecological understanding. If you use chemicals, IGRs, drags against bio-system, it is striking back by variant, surviving, knock-down registering, after all, we will knock down by what we have done.
They show affections to every life from "per plant farming" which is based on a philanthropical philosophy to every life.
Horizontal inovation is using an old, well-examined, therefore already cheap enough and safety enough to know its robustness technology. Gunpei Yokoi , Nintendo's genius engineer 's basic attitude to develop idea.
May I encourage you guys to collaborate with the “Ants Canada”? He has over 80 acres where he is running a forest restoration project and a sustainable organic farming project which focuses on insect habitat, integration, and sustainability. Sounds right up your alley.
Buyer is always interested to see its function, not lectures
Please stop showing a stack of trashed keyboards and dismantled monitors to show how "existing technology" looks like. Kindly.
Very cool system and creative naming schemes.

THE INVESTMENTS FROM THE FARMERS AS THEY SAY AND THEN THEY MAKING LARGE BACK BUY THE INVESTMENT's BACK ! ITS NOT STOCK MARKET CRIME's ITS PUBLIC WORKING THE LAWN PUBLIC THEY SELL LOT's NICE LAWN's FOOD SAFETY ! AND PICKING WEEDS IS HELL ON THE BODY AND BACK THAT COST THE SYSTEM's AS THE PUBLIC AND THE HELL CARE OF TAXES FROM THE MOOCH''s ON THE PUBLIC FOR THE MOOCH's' BACK SKID ROW BOY's HURK's TRAMP OF TRAMP's OF TAXES AS SPAWN ON THE PUBLIC ATM OF TAXES ! !
THANK's
