Agro-robotic ecosystems:
A new agricultural approach emerged out of the permaculture ideology. In the newly developed agro-robotic ecosystem, animals and plants live in harmony with agro-robots.
Focus on agro-robots:
Spittlebug robot:
This very small robot is designed to help protect crops against destructive pests.
Protection strategy:
It detects the chemicals that are released when plants are attacked by parasites. They reduce the numbers of parasitic animals in a sustainable way. They produce a biodegradable foam that kills the parasite, but does not harm the plant.
Seed robot:
The small seed-robot grows seeds internally in its body and plants the seeds in the fertile soil.
Harvest drone:
The harvest drones are programmed to pick up and transport the harvested food.
