Irvine, Calif.-based Western Growers is celebrating the start of the first American edition of FIRA, the international agricultural robotics conference, with videos showing new technology that will help solve the industry's ongoing labor shortage.
The three short videos feature 2-D orchards of trees harvested via a self-propelled platform; flying autonomous robots working alongside harvest crews; and AI-directed blades and lasers that zap weeds with impressive efficiency, according to a news release. The videos are available in their entirety now on the Western Growers YouTube channel, and will be rolled out on Western Growers social platforms. Click here for a playlist of all the videos.
