title: Is This Flying Robot the Future of Fruit Farming?
description: "Harvesting fruit crops is difficult work, and the number of fruit pickers is dwindling. In fact, more than 10% of fruits worldwide (or the entire annual consumption of the EU) go unharvested because there aren't enough workers to pick them. With the global population growing, demand for fruit will continue to rise — which means labor shortages and losses from unharvested fruit will too. Fortunately, Tevel Aerobiotics believe they have the solution: the Flying Autonomous Robot, or FAR. FAR is equipped with AI perception and vision algorithms that enable it to identify which fruits are ripe and ready to pick, and a grasping tool that allows the robot to gently pick and store the fruit without damaging it. To see FAR in action, watch the full video — you might be looking at the future of fruit farming."
