Drones may ultimately help change the face of agriculture, as we saw in action at the AgBot Challenge in Indiana last month, but it's not just commercial farming that could benefit from autonomous robots. Case in point: FarmBot, whose autonomous kits called Genesis will be available for pre-order this week, simply wants to oversee your home garden.
Its ambitions might be smaller than the contraptions that can remotely plant miles of seeds, but Genesis looks incredibly impressive. Developed by a team of three from California, the kit is an autonomous machine that’s installed atop and around a small garden—in your backyard, on a rooftop, or inside a greenhouse or lab. Once built, Genesis performs nearly the entire gardening process prior to harvesting, including planting the seeds, watering each plant precisely and on a set schedule, monitoring conditions, and pulverizing pesky weeds.
