Stalker was interested to read this wee snippet in a piece about AI on farming in the UK.
““Another exciting area is the use of robotics and automation in farming. One notable advancement is in the harvesting of crops, where machines are increasingly replacing manual labour. Mushrooms, for example, are traditionally picked by hand, due to the delicate nature of the mushroom caps. Unlike most fruit and vegetables, they have no protective outer skin, so are prone to damage and bruising.
“However, advanced robotic systems now incorporate advanced sensors, soft-touch grippers and machine vision to identify and gently pick mushrooms without causing damage. This signals a massive advancement within the mushroom industry!”
