Global warming: using robots to plant trees in the desert

Climate change is one of the most disturbing problems of our time. It’s having devastating effects on our planet, marked by episodes of drought, heat waves, extreme rainfall and weaker ecosystems, not to mention desertification and land degradation. Inappropriate farming practices and global warming are destroying more and more land and diminishing its biological potential.[…]

Farming and robotics: reducing use of chemical fertilisers

Chemical fertilisers increase agricultural yield, but cause massive soil and water pollution. It’s an issue that affects us all and we must find alternative solutions. Robots are already used to assist with livestock farming and crops, but they may also help us move towards a more sustainable agriculture. Here we take a closer look at[…]

Luxonis vs. RealSense: Which depth camera should I choose?

Depth cameras are essential for developing autonomous mobile robots, they give them the capacity to see, understand, interact and learn from their environment. They function a little like our own eyes, being able to differentiate between different shapes, colours, movements and depths. These stereo cameras work both indoors and out, regardless of lighting conditions. But[…]
