Crop diseases can have a serious impact on a farmer's bottom line, that’s why management is an ongoing concern for producers. Finding the right tools and technologies to help producers get a handle on diseases can be complicated and expensive.

A University of British Columbia student design team has created the prototype for a fully autonomous agricultural robot.

The creation of the AgroBot started with four students. The team has grown to 40 students with backgrounds in various areas of engineering.

AgroBot team member Wendie Wu will explain the project and tell us about how the students took inspiration from other industries and applied them to the robot...all in an effort to make agriculture operations more sustainable.
