Grazing robot
Australia is not only a country with high technology content, but also has a huge scale of animal husbandry.
A herding robot created in Australia can replace traditional herding labor on farms. It has advanced sensing system and global positioning system, which can automatically detect the movement speed of cattle and drive them to move. At present, the robot is still in the testing stage, after a period of improvement, it will be officially put into use.
Fertilizer robot
An agricultural machinery company in the United States invented a fertilization robot, which can detect different soils and calculate the accurate amount of fertilizer, so as to effectively improve the efficiency of fertilization and reduce production costs. In addition, the problem of water pollution caused by excessive fertilization has been effectively improved after the application of fertilizer robot.
Robot for weeding
Germany invented a robot that can control the amount of herbicide accurately to weed. This robot uses computer technology, global positioning system and other high-tech means. When farm workers carry the robot to work, the robot's GPS positioning system can record the position of weeds in the field.
After the farm workers store the information in the computer, the weeding robot can accurately monitor the position of the tractor when the workers drive the tractor into the farmland to work. After reaching the weeds area, the sprayer system of the weeding robot will automatically start to achieve accurate weeding.
Vineyard robot
In France, there is a robot wall Ye serving vineyards, which can replace most of the workers' work, such as monitoring soil, fertilizing, pruning branches, removing buds, etc.
Most importantly, this kind of robot also has a function that the existing planting robot does not have - safety system. Wall ye can only work in the specific vineyard set by the computer. If there is an accident, it can automatically start the security system, so as to avoid the formation of large losses.
Breeding robot
In the process of seedling raising, most of the labor of workers is moving potted plants, which is boring and inefficient. The seedling robot invented by the United States can effectively solve this problem, and its core components mainly include gripper, tray and rolling tire. As long as the staff input a place on the console, the robot can automatically grab the potted plants and quickly send them to the destination.
Planting robot
Germany has created a planting robot, named bonirob, with a high-precision positioning system that can control the geographical position error within 2 cm. From the appearance, it is very similar to a four-wheel SUV. This robot can identify crops and soil through a spectral imager, record the position of each plant, and regularly make statistics on the growth of crops in the growing period.
Fruit sorting robot
In the field of agricultural production, sorting different fruits is a very heavy work, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources in practice. A fruit sorting robot developed in Britain can automatically sort different fruits. It has been widely used because of its advantages of durability and simple operation.
This robot can walk freely in the wet and muddy farmland environment. Through the photoelectric image recognition and sorting system, it can not only sort the fruits according to the size, but also effectively separate the fruits with high similarity, such as tomatoes and cherries, without damaging the skin of the fruits.
Honeybee robot
A researcher at Harvard University has developed a bee like robot that can replace bees to pollinate plants. In addition, this kind of robot can be applied to the post disaster investigation, search and rescue work. Its strong endurance and small size make it play an amazing value after the disaster.
Mushroom picking robot
The UK is one of the countries with large mushroom production in the world. In recent years, the consumption of mushrooms in the UK has continued to grow. At present, mushrooms have become the British people's favorite food after potatoes and tomatoes. Mushroom farming is very large in the UK. According to the data released by the UK, the average annual scale of manual mushroom picking in the UK is 110000 tons. In order to improve the amount of mushroom picking and reduce labor costs, a British Agricultural Machinery Research Institute has developed a robot that can automatically pick mushrooms.
Through the camera and visual image analysis system, the robot can count the amount of mushrooms picked and identify the quality of mushrooms. After the height and distance of the mushroom are measured by the robot's infrared range finder, the picking device will automatically adjust the bending and length of the mechanical arm, and automatically put the mushroom into the conveyor after picking.
Compared with manual work, the work efficiency of mushroom picking robot has been greatly improved. In the past, manual picking can pick 20 mushrooms per minute. After the application of robot, the speed of mushroom picking can reach 40 mushrooms per minute.
Robot milking
At present, robots are widely used in dairy farms in the UK, most of which have realized automatic milking. Taking Cambridge University dairy farm as an example, milking is all done by intelligent robots without any manual operation. When cows need to be milked, they will take the initiative to wait in line for the robot to provide services. When milking cows, the robot will first automatically locate the breasts of cows, then disinfect the breasts, and fix the sucking device to complete the milking work.
In addition to milking, the robot can also detect the quality of milk, such as sugar, color, fat, electrolyte, protein and so on. The unqualified milk will be automatically loaded into the container specially used for storing waste milk. Even if it is qualified milk, in order to ensure the quality of milk, the robot will also extrude a small amount of milk Part of the milk is disposed of as waste milk.
In addition, the robot can automatically count and analyze the health status, milk yield, milking frequency of cows, and store them in the storage system. Once the data is abnormal, the robot can automatically give a warning.
The application of robots has greatly improved the milk production and quality. According to the data released by the industry, the output of milk can be increased by 20% to 50% after using robots, and the incidence rate of dairy cows has also been effectively reduced, reducing labor costs and bringing great value to enterprises.
