At the moment, AI is understandably a major topic. While we haven’t quite reached The Jetsons level of robot housekeepers, we might be onto some technology that's just as great. Beloved plant ...

A robot pangolin designed to plant trees is the winner of this year's Natural Robotics Contest. As the winning entry, the pangolin – dubbed "Plantolin" – has been brought to life by engineers at the ...

A robot the size and shape of a square kitchen table wheels over a row of seedlings. It scans the ground with camera "eyes," then stops. A small probe lowers from the middle of the robot, homes in on ...

A robot that can grow around trees or rocks like a vine could be used to make buildings or measure pollution in hard-to-reach natural environments. Vine-like robots aren’t new, but they are often ...

A team of engineers and plant pathologists are developing a spider-shaped robot as the latest weapon in the war against a devastating crop disease. Curcurbits are a large family of plants that include ...

Tools that offer early and accurate insight into plant health—and allow individual plant interventions—are key to increasing crop yields as environmental pressures increasingly impact horticulture and ...

A high-tech robot, designed to combat disease in tulip fields, relies on artificial intelligence to identify and address sick flowers in the Netherlands. Equipped with cameras and AI algorithms, the ...

New research published in the journal Nature on February 26, 2025, uses advanced robotics to track the hyper-efficient supply chains formed between plants and mycorrhizal fungi as they trade carbon ...
