IronOx is using robots to grow food more sustainably.
working at its facility: Grover, Ada, and Max. The first moves trays of plants to a photo bay for inspection, the second tackles individual plants, and the third handles the amount of water and nutrients to be given to plants based on what the cameras report."We get a really high-resolution scan of all the plants," said David Silver, the director of robotics at CNET.
This complex system takes care of all sorts of interventions such as water, nutrients, light, temperature, and humidity, resulting in what IronOx calls "renewable food." In addition, IronOnx ensures only the right amount of fertilizer is used in its processes since it is a major source of methane, one of the most powerful and dangerous greenhouse gasses."Fertilizer requires a lot of energy to produce and emits a lot of greenhouse gasses," said Silver.
However, one does have to wonder whether these jobs will also be eventually replaced by robots. This brings us to an important question: will there be a day when robots handle all of agriculture?Experts argue that the automation of industries will just result in new and improved jobs for humans. After all, someone needs to oversee automated procedures.
