How Sensors, Robotics And Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Agriculture

The world population is expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050. China and India, the two largest countries in the world, have populations totalling around one billion. In four years, by 2022, India is predicted to have the largest population in the world, surpassing China. This means we need new ways to grow food in a way that's smarter and helps regulate our use of land, water and energy in order to avoid a global food crisis and feed the planet. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute believe the answer lies in sensors, artificial intelligence (AI) and robots.
