Robot farmers!

At the global level, and especially in technologically developed countries, in recent years, a series of researches have been underway for the so-called " autonomous," i.e.,

ROBOT could completely replace the Earth workers, especially the specialized workers or machine operators, with economy and safety even in complex work, e.g., harvesting in the vineyards.

The autonomously and without tractor driver could change the landscape in the vast farms of Australia within five years, according to one of the major research institutions in the country grain.

The Grain Development  Research Corporation has conducted in-depth research into the potential of autonomous vehicles in Australian agriculture.

Paul Meibusch, Director of Commercial Technology Operation for GRDC, says the technology offers tremendous resource-saving benefits.

 "One guide, so many farmers in Australia pay a lot to hire skilled drivers for a few days for a casual job to fill these jobs, so the savings - through Robots - could be unprecedented."

This revolution was started by Paul Meibusch, one of the most pioneering scientists for robotics - tractor programmers - the company Terry Anderson from Minnesota in the USA.

Mr. Anderson's company, the Autonomous Tractor Corporation, has recently built two prototype autonomous tractors and hopes to begin production next year.

He says the cost of autonomous machines should be at least half that of today's tractors.

"A 200-horsepower tractor now costs somewhere between $ 800- $ 1,000 per horsepower," he said.

"We believe we can reduce it by at least half."

But Mr. Anderson believes that real yields will be made possible by allowing different modules to be mounted on the main body of the machine for other uses, despite its current practice of having a tractor pull a tool.

This new era will make the tractors smaller! Without losing power, it means that farmers could "run" many machines at once.

"They will have multiples of smaller equipment in a modular nature, which solves many maintenance and scheduling problems," Mr. Anderson said.

"If you break something, you can lose five percent of your potential, not 50 or 100 percent, and everything can be easily replaced."

But Mr. Meibusch says Australian farmers initially appear reluctant to buy the whole range of new autonomous machinery systems.

" Many farmers have recently invested quite large sums of money in classic and traditional machinery, so they are not interested in turning their machines into Robots very soon," he said.

"They are looking for the retrofit type solution where they will receive a conversion ( patent ) for their current tractors and will do it autonomously for some jobs."

From here in Rural Opportunities in the new world, we had previously mentioned autonomous robotic tractors. 

Like another KIT would not plow the streets to catch criminals but would plow fields.

Now from the field of robotic swarm technology comes Prospero. As explained in the following video, these robots will work together to plow areas of the Earth and take care of them.

The Prospero is the first stage of this technology; perhaps a solution that would increase production and lower prices, while another future application could be geoformation.

 As explained in the video below, the intent is to plow land Robots Prospero together to furrow the ground.

The Prospero is the first stage of this technology, perhaps a solution that would increase production and lower prices. However, another future application could change how we are farming now.

Note that these investigations outside the Earth expanded in time! 

Since the planned future crewed mission to Mars or an extraterrestrial planet, robotic machines will be needed to implement a part of land change and cultivation in unique greenhouses or outside!
