South Korean institute develops smart farm robot

A South Korean research team has developed an unmanned smart farm robot that can harvest and transport fruits without the need for human help.

The Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials said that its researchers has developed a special robot that can harvest garden crops such as fruits and vegetables cultivated in an indoor environment and transport them to a specific location on its own.
