Agricultural robotic start-ups are graduating into the market | Electric Vehicles Research

Interesting studies

Agricultural robots are a natural next step in the technology progression of agricultural machinery. In fact, these are special times in the development of agricultural robots because the cost of computing and data acquisition has dramatically fallen over the decades, finally enabling robots that transform many aspects of agriculture. Indeed, the IDTechEx Research report Agricultural Robots and Drones 2017-2027: Technologies, Markets, Players finds that the agricultural robotic and drones market will nearly reach $10bn by as early as 2022. Here, in many cases such as tractors, we only count the value of the automation system and not the entire vehicle. Robots and autonomous systems have been quietly transforming farming for years. In fact, farming is still today the leading and earliest adopter of manned autonomous navigation vehicles. Here technology is already advancing ...
