Robotic Bees: The Buzzing Hope for Vertical Farms and Beyond – DeFiance Daily – 7.18.23
Vertical farming is a promising solution for global food insecurity, but pollination remains a challenge. To address this, researchers and businesses are exploring Robot Bees, AI-powered mini drones capable of pollinating crops. Robot Bees could revolutionize indoor farming by vibrating flowers and aiding fertilization. Additionally, these robotic pollinators might have applications in space exploration where natural resources are limited. While not replacing traditional agriculture, vertical farms could complement outdoor crops, making indoor farming more sustainable and versatile.
