US EditionJapanese Researchers Unveil LiDAR-Guided Robot for Precision Strawberry Farming
- Researchers in Japan developed a new navigation system for agricultural robots, as reported in a study.
- Farmers face a labor shortage, especially on smaller farms, leading to interest in automation.
- The hybrid method kept robots within ±0.05 meters and ±5 degrees during tests in cultivation beds.
- Daniel Zeichner stated the government is serious about change, allocating £45 million for technology.
- Government funding aims to bring new technologies to farms, reduce emissions, and increase crop yields.

Laser-Guided Robot Farmers Offer Hope for Shrinking Labor Force
Farms might soon have a new helper that never needs a lunch break. Agricultural robots are inching closer to becoming practical farm hands, thanks to a new navigation system developed by researchers in Japan. The post Laser-Guided Robot Farmers Offer Hope for Shrinking Labor Force appeared first on Study Finds.
Farm robot autonomously navigates and harvests among raised beds
Strawberry fields will forever exist for the in-demand fruit, but the laborers who do the backbreaking work of harvesting them might continue to dwindle. While raised, high-bed cultivation somewhat eases the manual labor, the need for robots to help harvest strawberries, tomatoes, and other such produce is apparent.
