Fruitnet
Carl Collen reports that Biobest has introduced Polly, developed with Arugga AI Farming. Jorden van de Walle says one robot now covers one hectare and that an autonomous base lets growers start the day in the first row. Trials showed 2–6 percent yield gain versus bumblebees alone. The robot uses cameras and air bursts on tomato flowers.
