  • Summary

  • Robot farm machinery is no longer a sci-fi fantasy, it’s already on-farm and impacting how farmers manage their operations.

    In this episode, podcast regular, Food Agility CRC Chief Scientist, Professor David Lamb explains that although autonomous technology is now available there’s still work to be done to ensure our farms and our farmers are ‘robot ready’.

    We hear from Jack Rudd from Swarm Farm robotics about its autonomous machinery, mainly being used for spot spraying. He says the technology allows for more effective weed control, reducing chemical and labour costs.

    Northern NSW broad acre cropper Scott Wilson has been using a Swarm Farm robot for spot spraying and says ‘Scrub’ as the robot’s affectionately known, has benefits for both farm operation and lifestyle.
