Researchers in Japan have been conducting experiments using robotics and artificial intelligence to alleviate fruit farmers’ reliance on scarce labor while supporting those who are aging and have no successor.According to Tokyo-based consulting company NTT Data Institute of Management Consulting Inc., which oversees the experiments, a robot cargo vehicle automatically follows workers as they harvest pears, transporting the fruit to a designated location.
Kaizen Apps finds this very useful to farmers as the robots are reducing their physical burden.
