One of the robots is 1,000 pounds and about the size of a car. It picks up the trays of plants and transports them around the greenhouse. A second machine, a robotic arm, is responsible for all the fine manipulation tasks, like seeding and transplanting.
The robots at Iron Ox use machine learning and AI to detect pests and diseases. They can remove infected plants before the problem spreads.
