Where is the next 𝐑𝐨𝐛𝐨𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧? 🤖 The global #agriculture market is a $𝟒.𝟓 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 that is expected to grow another trillion in the next 5 years. #Robotics will create a significant impact on this transformation. The first transformation of agriculture could be said to have 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝟏𝟕𝟗𝟑 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐧 𝐠𝐢𝐧, later followed by the steam and gasoline tractor. But today, all eyes are on the impact of technology and how that will affect farming. In the video below, you can see multiple examples of companies designing indoor and outdoor #robot solutions for use in agriculture. 🔹Harvest CROO Robotics 🔹 Ecorobotix 🔹 Farm-ng 🔹 Burro 🔹 FarmWise 🔹 Organifarms 🔹 Tortuga AgTech 🔹 Carbon Robotics 🔹 VitiBot If you want to learn more about this industry and what #innovation is happening in the robotics space, check out RoboBusiness, happening this October at the 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫.

Thank you Hartnell College, for hosting us! We had a good time demonstrating our finger weeder attachment and providing our interns with the opportunity to connect with other innovative companies in the industry. #AutonomousAgriculture #AmigaRobot #TechInAg
Over 100 people, from farmers to scientists and tech industry folks, visited an ag tech field day at Hartnell College in Salinas, Calif., recently to view the latest examples of weed control technology. Here's what they saw. (By Todd Fitchette, Farm Press)

A new meaning to robot wrangling! Let's go Kristof Hayes 🦾
We had a fantastic time at Groundswell Agriculture last week with the listt.io team. Lots of interest in our automated grazing system MOB BOT, our Farm-ng robot and our vision capabilities. 🐏 🤖 📽️ It was great to catch up with old friends and new, get inspired by conversations and plan the year ahead. 🌠 #regenerativefarming #appropriatetechnology #automation #robotics #machinevision

Great to see how the Farm-ng Amiga enables your business to do more, faster!
This is what #AgTech development looks like, and "L&Aser is the official stinger of stinging nettle"™. Deep thanks to Steve Fennimore and farmer John for hosting us this week. And to Nathan Dorn & Farm-ng for their persistent and impassioned support of our work. #agriculture #technology #laserweeder #laserweeding #nochemicals #regenerativeagriculture #soilhealth #inthetrenches #nvidia #jetson #edgecomputing #artificialintelligence #agception #perception

BYOB -- Bring Your Own Bugs! 🐞 The new Amiga Bug Spreader application dispenses beneficial insects over crops, offering effective pest control without the need for chemicals. In strawberry fields, where spider mites are increasingly resistant to pesticides and reducing crop yields, the Amiga covers an acre in under 20 minutes, applying bugs three rows at a time, and generates a heat map report with precise data on bug distribution. Come see the spreader in action at the #SalinasBiologicalsSummit

Last week, Fresh Field Catalyst participants convened in California for Immersion Week where they visited more than a dozen businesses from San Francisco to Los Angeles. They spent almost a week on a bus tour exploring many aspects of the produce supply chain to learn from industry members about their practical challenges, and what they need from solution partners! . . . . .

On Tuesday 6/11, the USDA hosted the Agrifood Innovation Symposium in partnership with the Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research. The symposium: “Harvesting Hope: Cultivating Scientific Solutions that Nourish People & Planet" was held near the Capitol Mall in DC at the Andrew Mellon Auditorium. In this photo, Steve Brown, AIFS Associate Director, describes the AIFS co-sponsored Farm Robotics Challenge to Davida Vanderpuye Tengey, USDA International Engagement Manager. This Farm-ng robot has been configured by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Research Service (ARS) to recognize and precision spray weeds.

Incredible experience. Even with years of experience in the industry, there is no substitute for engaging the farms for the world's greatest carrot farmers and soft tree fruit breeders! Thank you!
Day 5 of Immersion Week of the Fresh Field Catalyst. We got out of the heat (somewhat) by going to Grimmway Farms fields in the Tehachapi mountains. Beautiful, clean, high yielding organic fields. Followed by a visit to Sun World where we ate more delious fruit than you can imagine and learned about their breeding programs And a picture of happy me being in the field and loving our industry.

This was a moment!! During our Immersion Tour, we visited a field with Taylor Farms where I learned about Parabug, a technology that releases beneficial insects into organic fields. Back in the late ‘70s as an undergraduate at NMSU, I worked on discovering parasitic Hymenoptera in alfalfa and cotton fields in New Mexico. Our aim was to catalog the existing species and promote the use of fewer/different/no crop protection products - a journey that began 45 years ago! Witnessing the confluence of technologies like rearing beneficial insects, data collection, analytics, and drone technology was truly exciting. The progress made over the years is remarkable, showcasing how technology has evolved to accelerate processes while emphasizing the importance of not dismissing technologies that may not have immediate applications.
