Artificial intelligence to command autonomous John Deere machinery - Future Farming

#artificialintelligence

In the next 10 years, FieldPRO expects agriculture to be completely revolutionized by automation. "Market forecasts expect the autonomous agriculture sector to exceed $95 billion by 2027, according to research by Global Market Insights Inc. The German farm tractor industry alone has recorded deliveries of 32,000 autonomous units in 2021 and is expected to reach 45,000 units by 2028." These autonomous vehicles can perform functions on their own, without the need for operators in the cab, but still rely on operators to authorize their entry into the field, which in turn depends on the weather conditions and the quality of the soil at the site. FieldPRO developed an artificial intelligence foundation that understands the environmental conditions of the rural area.


Artificial Intelligence for future farming

#artificialintelligence

Artificial Intelligence is extending its footprints in almost every nook and corner of the scientific research whereby its tremendous calibre and path breaking operational driver has exposed almost every arena to a new light. Generally speaking, Artificial Intelligence is a new and robust substitute to almost every conventional method which otherwise lacks expertise to resolve, handle and tackle the situations in possible adequate manner. It has the potential to revolutionize and metamorphose science and technology to new attire. Amid use and deployment of Artificial Intelligence in almost every arena, how can someone forget to mention the essence of Artificial Intelligence in the field of Agriculture? Precisely speaking, more than one half of the population of India directly depends upon farming and agriculture as their core livelihood in as much as the matter does not limit to the factum of livelihood only but it obviously feeds a nation for its survival.


Future Farming: Sustainability & Health Meets AI - Farmers Review Africa

#artificialintelligence

Healthy Soil Biomes (HSB) and StoryFile have launched an AI-powered conversational video experience with five experts to provide the public with engaging resources on how to create healthy farming methods. Just in time for Earth Day, these methods can help mitigate global issues like food/water scarcity and climate change. For the first time, StoryFile has networked multiple people's StoryFiles and utilized its powerful AI-tool, Conversa, to let users have a conversation that can move between five Healthy Soil Biomes experts according to their area of expertise in areas such as bioreactors, farming, soil, and biodiversity. This revolutionary technology is the basis of Video 3.0, which allows for interactive asynchronous conversational video. Over 7,000 questions were asked of the Healthy Soil Biomes experts.


Spot spraying on target to cut inputs - Future Farming

#artificialintelligence

Developed by Exxact Robotics, a subsidiary of the large, French Exel Industries Group, it is set to be employed on a wide range of its sprayer brands including Agrifac, Berthoud, Evrard, Hardi, Technoma and the USA-built Apache. The system combines high resolution, embedded cameras and sensors with artificial intelligence algorithms, which are integrated into the company's existing sprayers. "It is designed to optimise inputs with high precision, ultra-localised spray applications โ€“ accurate to the individual nozzle level," explains the company. Capable of working day or night and up to speeds of 25km/h, the technology has been developed from spot spraying systems that have been working in the field for the past five years, says the firm. This latest technology is designed to detect and treat weeds, diseases, pests and nutrient requirements, in real time, in growing crops.


Vote for your most promising Field Robot Concept!

#artificialintelligence

BEGIN ARTICLE PREVIEW: From a fruit picking drone to a โ€˜jumpingโ€™ weeding robot: what is the most promising field robot concept in 2020? Future Farming and FIRA have organised a competition in which the best or most promising robot is selected. The jury selected 10 candidates from all submissions. The professional jury will assess these 10 entries. But the public can also vote. What do you think is the most promising field robot concept? Take part in the poll and cast your vote! Recently, Future Farming launched the worldโ€™s first Field Robot Catalogue. In this robot catalogue you will find 35 field and harvest robots, which you will be able to buy, lease or hire in 2021. All the robots in the catalogue are commercially available. However, there are also many concepts being developed. From tool carriers to picking drones; manufacturers are doing their best to develop practical robots that will help farmers cope with current and future challenges. 10 Field Ro


The 6 Most Amazing AI Advances in Agriculture

#artificialintelligence

When we think about agriculture, we tend to think about old-school farming. But although many of us might think that the agricultural community is behind the curve when it comes to implementing new technologies, there is lots of evidence that farmers are actually moving quite quickly to modernize almost everything about the farming process -- they're using artificial intelligence in new and amazing ways to bring the process of food cultivation into the future. High-tech agriculture starts at the very second that the seed is first placed in the ground. Experts in the field are familiar with "variable rate planting equipment" that does more than just planting a seed down into the dirt somewhere. As you'll see later in this article, all sorts of artificial intelligence work is being done behind the scenes on predictions -- where a seed will grow best, what soil conditions are likely to be, etc.


Future Farming: Pastures new for big data

#artificialintelligence

Data is shaping almost every area of our lives. Agriculture has been slow to embrace new technology but even here it's beginning to have a big impact. There are now hundreds of companies offering everything from farm management and precision tools to bots and drones. Some tractors have computing power that would have turned Nasa's moon-landing mission green with envy. What started in farm equipment is moving into the field โ€“ at least in the developed world.


UAV-based crop and weed classification for future farming

Crops are key for a sustainable food production and we face several challenges in crop production. First, we need to feed a growing world population. Second, our society demands high-quality foods. Third, we have to reduce the amount agrochemicals that we apply to our fields as it directly affects our ecosystem. Precision farming techniques offer a great potential to address these challenges, but we have to acquire and provide the relevant information about the field status to the farmers such that specific actions can be taken.
