Researchers at Kennesaw State University are developing a new high-tech tool aimed at helping farmers protect their crops from destructive pests without the need for chemicals.
The device, called MocoBot, is a low-cost, AI-powered robot designed to patrol strawberry fields at night, using night vision to detect and remove slugs and snails common pests that can cause major crop damage.
“It’s going to be able to perform pest management at night completely in the dark,” explained KSU researcher Taeyeong Choi. “We use AI technology to enable the robot to do that.”…
