Robots and AI Will Guide Australia's First Fully Automated Farm

Sunday May 30, 2021. 06:34 AM , from Slashdot
'Robots and artificial intelligence will replace workers on Australia's first fully automated farm,' reports Australia's national public broadcaster ABC.

The total cost of the farm's upgrade? $20 million.

Charles Sturt University in Wagga Wagga will create the 'hands-free farm' on a 1,900-hectare property to demonstrate what robots and artificial intelligence can do without workers in the paddock... The farm will use robotic tractors, harvesters, survey equipment and drones, artificial intelligence that will handle sowing, dressing and harvesting, new sensors to measure plants, soils and animals and carbon management tools to minimise the carbon footprint.

The farm is already operated commercially and grows a range of broadacre crops, including wheat, canola, and barley, as well as a vineyard, cattle and sheep.
