Industries
Five kinds of places where robots already work outside the factory. Pick one to see its robots, the jobs they do and who makes them.
Agricultural robots
Robots that work in fields, vineyards, orchards and greenhouses: weeding without herbicide, spraying only where needed, picking fruit and carrying loads. Most steer by RTK satellite positioning (accurate to a few centimetres) and read the crop with cameras.
