The fourth industrial revolution in agriculture

[Andrew B]

This extraordinary article came onto my Twitter feed earlier. If it has been posted before then apologies.

A flavour of what is in the article includes this:

"One firm is developing a swarm of miniature autonomous robots that can plant seeds. Controlled by a farmer’s handheld tablet, which is operated with the help of satellites and cloud-based software, the swarm will be able to put each seed in the right place with greater precision than current approaches can"

Is this really a reality or science fiction?

It will happen, no herbicides will be needed as the robots will zap the weeds with a laser, the two issues will be stopping them drowning in all the rain and stopping the f**king pikies pinching them
