Hannes Seeberg, and industrial designer from Estonia, has designed a robot that is at home down on the farm. Called the Robotrac, short for robotic tractor, the robot is a fully programmable farmhand that can help out in a myriad of ways, including:
-
Tilling
-
Plowing
-
Disking
-
Planting
-
Harrowing
-
Spraying
-
Weeding
-
and more
The unit was designed to be helpful while maintaining a relatively smaller size to allow access to the crops without being destructive. From everything we can determine it is still a concept robot at this point, but it could prove to be a great tool for a farmer if and when it hits production.
