Manage episode 412298286 series 3385494
South African company Aerobotics is using artificial intelligence (AI) to aid fruit and nut farmers in boosting their crop yields. Established nine years ago, Aerobotics is active in 18 countries, with the US being its biggest market. Their AI platform analyses over 1 million fruit images per month and has mapped over 600,000 acres of US farmland. CEO James Paterson, who grew up on a fruit farm, developed an interest in improving farming operations using data. The company's AI software analyses drone-captured images to detect individual fruits, predict crop yield and assist with planning, reducing time spent on tasks such as pest monitoring.
