Robots Will Revolutionize Farming But Farm Workers Will Lose
• https://www.technocracy.news, By: Brian HalweilIn one interview from 2014 Naio engineers noted that "the purchase of a robot, which costs at least 250 Euros per month, is profitable over a hectare of surface." But Oz can also carry a payload, work at any hour of the night, and work autonomously once it's programmed for a task, like weeding a few acres of densely planted vegetables. Oz knows exactly which plants are Swiss chard and which are Green Globe turnips. Oz knows what the weather is and will be. It's tied into the local weather station and connected to all the other devices and platforms being used on the farm, from Salesforce to Granular, from smart irrigation pumps and soil sensors. As the sell sheet proudly declares, "Oz works perfectly alone but you can also guide it to your needs."
