Engineers from the University of Cambridge have developed a vegetable-picking robot that can autonomously identify and harvest iceberg lettuce, one of the more manually demanding crops for human ...

For decades, farmworkers have stooped down to pick ripe cantaloupes off vines along the ground. Now, in an agricultural community near the California-Arizona border, a harvesting machine ...

Robotic machines to pick everything from strawberries to apples are being tested and could one day help ease the farm labor crunch. Another agricultural technology in development involves small robot ...

We imagine a farm to be a place where people celebrate simplicity and get back to the land, and why not? Most of our food is sold to us that way. But farms are big business, and they’re more high-tech ...

Knocking down mesquite hasn't been a problem in the past. Picking it up and getting it off the land has, said a Texas Agricultural Experiment Station researcher. That will change with a new mesquite ...

The food and agriculture chain is one of the most promising industries where the Internet of Things (IoT) can bring about transformational changes. And this transformation includes building smart farm ...

Tractors and combine harvesters are frequently operated on difficult terrain. Crops such as canola and corn grow at different densities; the field is sometimes muddy and is rocky at other times; and ...

His cranberry fields flooded with 6 inches of water, Dan Brockman drives his new harvesting machine — romantically named the ruby slipper — through the vines. Steel, finger-like rods submerged in the ...

Researchers have developed a machine learning model using hyperspectral imaging to assess pre-harvest tomato quality. The study introduces a cost-effective non-destructive method to predict key ...
