Smart Agriculture
Japanese agriculture has depended/mostly on skilled farmers. But,/today,/the number of farmers is decreasing/and many are becoming older. Therefore,/advanced technologies have been introduced/to help with agricultural work. For example,/power assist suits can support human movement/and reduce the need for physical strength.
Thanks to advanced technologies,/farmers can do their work more easily. This development is called “smart agriculture.”
Many robots are used in smart agriculture. Some have cameras and sensors/to gather data for analyzing. Others can do heavy work/instead of farmers. Look at the robot harvesting tomatoes. The camera captures images of tomatoes. This robot automatically picks only delicious red tomatoes/with AI.
As technologies develop,/robots will be able to do tasks/24 hours a day/and productivity will be increased a lot.
In recent years,/some farmers have been using drones for agriculture. These drones can collect information/about the condition of farmland and products. They also spray pesticides efficiently. Drones are cheaper than helicopters/and are easy for farmers to operate.
Advanced technologies can be used/not only for agricultural problems/but also for other social challenges. With such developments,/life will become much more sustainable.
