In today’s farms, many robots are busy doingfarmwork under the sun just like human. Farmers areturning to AI robots for help by bringing computersand robots to their farms. One such company2, Farmng,is using AI-powered robots to do a lot of farmwork,like picking apples, growing vegetables, moving plantsand so on.
With the help of AI-powered Robots, these farmsare able to do farmwork more quickly—picking aplant in eight seconds—than human3 hands andcheaper than human at the same time. Human needto take a break after a day’s work, but robots don’t.Some robots even work in the evening. Human gethurt4 easily but robots don’t.
Also, AI-powered robots can see more thanhuman, because they have cameras5 and GPS.Drones6, a kind of AI plane, fly in the sky and watchthe farms, so farmers can know their farms better.With cameras and GPS, robots are better at findingfruits in the trees than human eyes, and also canknow which fruit is mature7 by looking at its color.
AI-powered robots are good for the envi -ronment8, too. By using AI-powered robots forfarmwork like weeding9, farmers can cut down theneed for harmful pesticides10.
But AI-powered robots have problems, too. Manyfruits and vegetables are easy to go bad in hotweather. When picking those fruits and vegetables,human hands are better than most AI-powered robots.Some people think human may lose job becauserobots are doing their work. But they are wrong.There is always some work AI robots can’t do.
現(xiàn)如今的農(nóng)場(chǎng)里有不少機(jī)器人像人一樣在太陽(yáng)底下忙碌地干著農(nóng)活,農(nóng)民通過(guò)引入電腦和機(jī)器人進(jìn)農(nóng)場(chǎng)來(lái)實(shí)現(xiàn)讓人工智能機(jī)器人幫忙的目的。Farm-ng 是一家相關(guān)領(lǐng)域的公司,正應(yīng)用機(jī)器人做各種各樣的農(nóng)活,摘蘋(píng)果、種蔬菜、移動(dòng)植物都不在話下。
在人工智能機(jī)器人的幫助下,農(nóng)場(chǎng)干活的速度更為迅速,機(jī)器人8 秒鐘內(nèi)能完成一顆植株的采摘,比人手快,而且也比人工便宜。在干完一天的農(nóng)活后,人需要休息,但是機(jī)器人不需要,它們甚至可以在晚上工作。有些時(shí)候,人容易受傷,機(jī)器人則不會(huì)。
再者,人工智能機(jī)器人能夠監(jiān)測(cè)很多人眼無(wú)法看到的地方,因?yàn)闄C(jī)器人配備有攝像頭和定位系統(tǒng)。無(wú)人機(jī),一種人工智能飛機(jī),在農(nóng)場(chǎng)上空飛行的時(shí)候可以監(jiān)測(cè)農(nóng)場(chǎng),農(nóng)民便可以更好地了解農(nóng)場(chǎng)的情況。有了攝像頭和定位系統(tǒng),機(jī)器人也能比人眼更快找到樹(shù)上的水果,還能通過(guò)觀察水果的顏色來(lái)判斷是否成熟。
人工智能機(jī)器人對(duì)環(huán)境也很友好。例如用機(jī)器人除草,那農(nóng)民對(duì)環(huán)境有害的殺蟲(chóng)劑的需求量便會(huì)降低。
但是人工智能機(jī)器人也存在一些問(wèn)題。在天氣炎熱之時(shí),很多水果和蔬菜容易壞。采摘時(shí),人手要比大多數(shù)的人工智能機(jī)器人更為靈活。一些人覺(jué)得機(jī)器人做了人的工作,人就會(huì)失業(yè),但是這種觀點(diǎn)是不正確的,總有一些活是人工智能機(jī)器人干不了的。
