00:00These robots may change the future of farming.
00:03This tiny robotic insect weighs less than a paper clip.
00:06It hovers and even does aerial flips.
00:09One day, it could pollinate flowers like a real insect.
00:13Bug-sized bots like this one could help grow fruits and veggies
00:17in stacked indoor farms, meaning bigger harvests
00:20and less environmental impact than traditional farming.
00:24It may not look like it, but this robot is basically a smart cow.
00:28Swagbot herds cattle on its own and leads them to the best grazing spots.
00:33Why is that a big deal?
00:35In huge pastures, farmers have little control over where animals graze.
00:40Overgrazing harms soil and hurts biodiversity.
00:43The robot's smart sensors monitor both pasture and cow health in real time.
00:48And this one, it's a solar-powered robot that zaps weeds by shooting concentrated blue light pulses.
00:55No chemicals, no soil damage.
00:57As it moves through the fields, it also tracks crop growth and health using AI and a bank of cameras.
01:03In interesting words.
