A machine that recognises and removes weeds, a robot that cuts and picks ripe fruit with arm grippers or a greenhouse that autonomously controls the climate. This is all in a day’s work for WUR researchers Bram Veldhuisen and Anja Dieleman, who are involved in the development and implementation of these smart AI technologies. This makes the agricultural and horticultural sectors more sustainable, improves their yields and makes them less labour-intensive. We asked them about promising solutions, the hurdles to overcome and the potential risks.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers solutions for agriculture and horticulture in several areas, says Bram Veldhuisen, researcher in precision agriculture and agri-robotics. “Like recognising weeds or harvesting crops.
