Project CROPS developed a robotic system that is able to selectively spray and harvest sweet peppers while autonomously navigating through a greenhouse.
Iowa State University uses a robot rover for Enviratron, a research concept in which the growth of plants under varying environmental conditions is monitored by a robot.
A partnership between 10 different countries, CROPS is a robotics project based in the Netherlands. The goal is to create robots that can replace human labor in agriculture, reducing costs while increasing profits and crop production. It will enable…
The Aerosonde is a UAV capable of obtaining various weather data. NASA and NOAA commissioned this $50,000 robot to explore the dynamics of hurricanes and send back data. The developing company hopes to use the Aerosonde to find ways of predicting hurricane…
Designed by Boston Dynamics, PETMAN is a modern robot that specializes in testing chemical protection clothing. The anthropomorphic robot is particularly known for its natural agile movements that help the robot simulate how protective clothing is stressed…
Bart Everett developed a security robot called Robart II. It can detect problems, create navigation maps and contains multiprocessor architecture for real-time operations.
WF-3RIX was developed by Waseda University. This robot uses advanced human organ simulation to mimic the flute-playing of a human. It has artificial fingers to trill the flute and a MIDI accompaniment system. Its artificial lungs have the same volume…
WF-4 is Waseda University's improved version of flutist robot WF-3RIX. Among the changes made to this anthropomorphic robot are better sound quality from the flute. The vibrato mechanism was moved to the back of the neck, giving it a more human appearance.…
