Israel: utilizan robots polinizadores en frutas y hortalizas de invernadero
If humans rely more on food from greenhouses in the future, pollination robots will probably play a vital role.
They are already being used in tomato greenhouses. Tomato plants are self-pollinating, but help is needed to get the pollen to drop onto the female part of the tomato flower.
In nature, this is the job of bees and other pollinators, which knock the pollen loose when they visit the flowers for nectar.
Now, on the most advanced farms, this is done by automated robots which ride on tracks between rows of tomato plants. They photograph each tomato flower, and use their built-in artificial intelligence to instantly determine each flower’s readiness to be pollinated.
