Swarm robotics offer precision agriculture at plant level
Swarm robots – small, simple and inexpensive – are poised to reverse the trend in agriculture towards ever bigger machines.

“Robot swarms will enable truly precise agriculture – targeted spraying of individual plants, and selective harvesting of crops that are actually ripe – rather than treating an entire field identically,” comments Alan Millard ahead of the swarm robotics event.
