The Next Byte32. Robot That Will Save Grape Farmers Billions & How Metallic Glass Will Result In Affordable Robotics(1:04) - Facial Recognition AI Helps Save Multibillion Dollar Grape Crop:Powdery mildew causes multi-billion dollar losses of grape crops on a yearly basis so it is no surprise that researchers like Professor Lance Cadle-Davidson from Cornell University are working on developing more fungus resistant varieties. The process of analyzing grape leaf samples is quite cumbersome and would’ve required 6 months of manual labor had engineer and computer scientists - Professor Yu Jiang - not stepped in. Professor Jiang was able to reduce the analysis timeframe down to just 1 day by developing a robot powered by a modified fa...2021-08-2420 min
