Robots in the Wild #TECHVISION2020 Ultimately, the robot migration has the potential to transform how entire industries work. Take agriculture, where 2018 saw orders of robotic devices to food and consumer product companies grow 48%. In the fields, FarmWiseis looking to deploy autonomous robots to handle everything from weeding, to seeding, to harvesting. Their devices combine computer vision, sensors and learning algorithms to gather and act on data specific to each individual plant. In Denmark, robots from OnRobotare handling delicate greenhouse plants. OnRobot’sdevices can account for variances like misshaped or heavier materials—challenges that would have prevented robotics applications in greenhouse agriculture in the past. Black, T.
