Using robotics in farming is nothing new at Harper Adams, but they each tend to be designed to complete a specific task.<\/p>\n
“Each one of the robots that you have now, has a solution, it’s basically an adhoc solution,” he said.<\/p>\n
“So you have the problem, and you have a robot to solve that specific problem. And the robot cannot be used elsewhere, or to solve a different problem.”<\/p>\n
Another benefit, he said, was that once perfected, programming could be replicated across 1,000 or more more robots.<\/p>\n
Cheein said the future was not about replacing people in farming, but was instead about working alongside the technology.<\/p>\n
The humanoid would be sharing the workspace or tasks with people, he said.<\/p>\n
“The robot and ourselves in the same environment should co-exist in some sense and for that we need the robot to have social skills,” he explained.<\/p>\n
“So we can deploy the humanoid to do the work that we can do.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Using robotics in farming is nothing new at Harper Adams, but they each tend to be designed to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":718753,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[554,733,4308,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-718752","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/718752","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=718752"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/718752\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/718753"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=718752"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=718752"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=718752"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
