Description:

Jonathan Rogers is a professor at Georgia Tech who’s focused on designing and prototyping new robots for use in nontraditional environments.

In his newest project, the nontraditional environment is a farm and the robot’s name is Tarzan.

If you think a farm and a swinging robot are an odd combination, tune in to hear Jonathan Rogers explain how they’re a perfect match and why this unlikely merger can help ensure the future of the world’s food supply.

Here’s a peek at what you’ll discover inside this episode:

  • Why robots are important to the future of farming
  • What rapid throughput phenotyping is and how it affects your future
  • Why drones aren’t ideal for large field use on farms and ground robots aren’t either
  • What sloths have to do with robotics
