How AI Connects With Us Today
We will have a brief look at robotics in various industries and in the coming issues we will have experts discussing in greater detail so you get a better glance at how broad and deep AI got embedded into our day to day life. To begin with let us look into agriculture.
Eli Whitney's Cotton engine
A look back into the year 1794...
Did you know that AI is propagating quickly within the agriculture field faster than we thought.
Eli Whitney in the year 1794 introduced a machine which had the ability to isolate cotton seed from the cotton fibre and it has the record of creating up to 50 pounds of cotton in one day. Much has developed since then across this agri industry spurring economical growth.
Agribot is an autonomous robot used in farming to help improve efficiency and reduce reliance on manual labor and widely used today at the harvesting stage. Recently drones are being used in applications like detecting disease in plants, pest control, planting seeds, harvesting, soil analysis, monitoring poor nutrition and many others.
AI is the future
Today AI systems help in overcoming challenges faced from traditional farming resulting in precision agriculture. AI sensors detect and target cannabis or commonly called weeds. They are also capable of making decision on the type of herbicide to apply. Such intelligence never seen before has helped in protecting crops providing higher yield for farmers.
