据英国《星期日泰晤士报》报道,在英国贝德福德郡的一片试验田中,西尔索研究所正在试验机器人种田。 这家农场的农场主,带着一个全球系统接收器走在田野上。该接收器能精确定出它在地球上所处的位置。当农场主遇到一块杂草地时,他就将这块地的全球定位系统坐标值输入到一个手提式计算机中,然后再将这些数据转入到智能拖位机上的计算机中。当拖拉机自动行驶到这块杂草地时,全球定位系统就会监测所处的坐标,并在到达时自动启动喷雾 According to the British “Sunday Times” reported in a test bed in Bedfordshire, England, Corso Institute is testing robot farming. The farm’s farmer walks in the field with a global system receiver. The receiver can pinpoint exactly where it is on Earth. When the farmer encounters a weed, he enters the global positioning system coordinates of the area into a handheld computer and transfers the data to a computer on the smart-mop. When the tractor travels automatically to this weed, GPS will monitor the coordinates and start the spray automatically upon arrival
