Development-Phase Agricultural Robots
|
Agribotics is the application of robotics to the development and production of crops and/or livestock - including automated water distribution systems and harvesting systems. In some respects, humans have used genomics in agricultural products and services for millennia. They have used biologic processes to ferment alcoholic drinks, culture dairy outputs, and selectively breed livestock and plants. Modern recombinant DNA techniques has greatly expanded and accelerated the application of biotechnology to agriculture -- producing crops and animals that grow in adverse environments, crops that bear more fruit, and crops that resist destructive insects without the implementation of pesticides
A "Biobot" is a robot that is designed to: (1) imitate the design or physiology of a biologic organism; (2) connect and integrate life science and mechanical pieces in its operation; or (3) both. Biological functions and processes imitated or integrated with mechanical systems may consist of: action (e.g. walking), energy formation (e.g. digestion), sensing and transmission (e.g. language recognition and formation), and knowledge and control (e.g. neural adaptation). Biological organisms work actively to maintain stable internal conditions (e.g. acidity, temperature, salinity) despite varies in their surroundings. This process is referred to as homeostasis. It builds on sensing and responding to natural varies. In some respects, calculators will likely furthermore function homeostasis. Computers will likely be programmed to maintain stable (internal) conditions through sensors and environmental control mechanisms. They will likely maintain temperature, humidity, and other conditions within certain ranges. To date, nonetheless, few data processors have the range of adaptive flexibility that is displayed by even elemental living organisms. Genorganics is the commercialization of genomic science to organic plant and animal development -- incorporating tissue engineering, organ formation, genetics, genetic engineering, genomics in crop protection and evolution, market adoption of plant biotechnology, somatic embryo genesis, hybridization and selection.
