Ted
Every farmer in the world with an aching back… which is EVERY FARMER EVER… has undoubtedly dreamed of having their weeding done by a robot.
Well, wait no more.
The French tech firm Naio Technologies has unleashed a range of specialized robots on the world of weeds, and one named TED is designed specifically for weeding vineyards.
A “Multifunctional vineyard weeding robot,” as their website describes it, TED is a highly precise weeding tool for vineyards. TED’s main asset is that it frees the hands and minds of wine growers so that they can spend more time on tasks with a higher value-add, and not on stooping to pull weeds.
Fifteen TED robots are maintaining vineyards in France, and sales are now expanding into other countries.
