Technological innovation is also at a high price in the agricultural field. The latest autonomous robot for agriculture will be presented at the "Protection of agricultural and forestry soils under climate change" Conference, an event organized in the next two days by the "Ion Ionescu de la Brad" University of Life Sciences in Iasi (USV) together with Romanian Academy and Academy of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences "Gheorghe Ionescu-Sişeşti" (ASAS). Professor Dr. Gerard Jităreanu, rector of USV Iaşi, said: "Ag Bot 5.115T2 is part of the latest generation of agricultural robots made in the Netherlands. It does not have a cabin, being controlled by remote control, including from a smartphone or tablet, performing agricultural work independently and autonomously 24 hours a day. Thanks to the safety systems, it is impossible to have any accident, it has numerous motion and tactile sensors, front and rear video cameras to detect any obstacle".
