The most advanced robotic picking technology in agriculture, sue other workers.
You can pick 1,000 apples an hour, which is also the latest robotic apple picking technology applied in the United States. If one day agricultural production is gradually replaced by robots, do not be surprised, because the aging of the population will be more and more expensive, and artificial intelligence will replace traditional agricultural production will be an inevitable trend.
Look at this happening at apple farms in the United States, where trial robots are picking apples. A mobile picking robot has 6 picking arms, which are positioned at different heights such as octopus feet, and the picking arms can also move left and right in multiple directions. The picking process is as follows:
First visually identify the position of the apple and judge the ripeness of the apple, and then use the wind to blow the surrounding leaves, the robot sucks the apple, and picks an apple through a 360-degree rotation.
Then there's robotic arm recycling, putting apples on the conveying channel, and picking carts are satellite-navigated and can automatically move around the orchard, each capable of picking 1,000 apples per hour. It can work 24 hours a day.
If such robot operations are to be realized, the management and construction of the farm is very important.
First of all, the orchard must be planted with the main trunk and arranged consistently, and a standardized channel is built in the middle, and its ripening will not fall to the ground, the reflective film is mainly to allow the apple to have sufficient light, and some of them are not protected from explosion-proof nets to protect apples from harm during the ripening process.
Standardized people before picking will also use professional equipment to knock off apple leaves, on the one hand to facilitate light coloring, on the other hand to facilitate automated picking.
Some friends will complain that the price of such a robot must be very expensive, and farmers pick it once a year, which is not cost-effective at all.
In fact, many friends are not clear about the model of foreign large-scale farms, such large-scale farms are outsourced and picked by labor companies in the United States, but because labor companies are protected by labor unions, the working hours are limited every day, and overtime can not be arbitrary. At the same time, their accommodation and food are all inclusive, as well as various transportation costs.
As a result, many farms are gradually adopting robotic operations. Robots are actually a shared rental model provided by third-party technology companies. When the farmer's orchard needs to be picked, the robot is submitted to the picking company, and the picking company can calculate how many robots to pick, without the farmer's own purchase.
This case is the trend of future agricultural development.
First, artificial intelligence will be applied to all aspects of agriculture in the future. Wherever there are more people, they will be replaced by artificial intelligence machines.
Second, in the future, there will be a large number of scientific and technological agricultural companies, whether it is planting, weeding, picking, there will be professional companies to serve. In the future, there will be more and more science and technology agricultural service companies in China. I hope that more young friends, or friends who start businesses in rural areas, can explore this aspect.
Such robots do not necessarily need to invest in themselves, and can be jointly operated by factories and financial institutions.
Follow me to see the new knowledge of the industry, remember to pay attention.
