SPECIAL REPORT: Artificial intelligence becoming a game-changer in ag - KYMA

We have daily access to it right at our fingertips, and soon enough it is going to take over many tedious tasks in agriculture, like weeding. Artificial intelligence is the way of the future, only getting better by the minute. "This is a an AI based machine learning platform that has a very good ability to take pictures of plants or the crops we want to keep and open up mechanical blades around the plants we want to keep in close after the plant and cultivate and remove weeds," said Ben Palone, senior technical product and product manager at Farmwise. High-tech cameras are the eyes of the robot, and the brain is pretty close to what a farmer would be tasked to do. "This is all based on digital camera technology. We take the pictures and then the pictures are fed into a computer, and the computer analyzes the pictures and decides what to do on the field after," said Tony Koselka, co-founder of Vision Robotics.
