Agriculture has been, undoubtedly, one of the most fascinating sectors for the deployment of new technology, with drones, robotics, and AI all receiving ample experimentation. British retailer John Lewis Partnership has been one of the more enthusiastic adopters, with the Ocado online supermarket they formed back in 2000 one of the pioneers of automation.
Ocado may have been sold off by John Lewis a few years ago, but the spirit of innovation remains, as evidenced by a recent trial partnership undertaken with the Small Robot Company that will see the startups farmbots deployed at a farm in Hampshire.
