U.S.: Robot Grown Produce Coming Soon to a Grocery Store Near You
A startup is putting its robot-grown produce at one grocery store in California starting with three varieties of leafy greens, and robotic farming could help the agriculture industry deal with one of the worst labor shortages facing the economy, writes Zayan Guedim with EDGY Labs.
Launched last October, Iron Ox has developed a robotic system that ensures optimum growing conditions for the crop seeds until they’re ripe for harvest, with little intervention possible from humans.
The system consists of Angus, a robotic wheeled platform that lifts containers filled with seedlings then hands them over to another arm-like robot, fitted with cameras, which handles the containers carefully with its gripping fingers.
