Bluemax: Enhancing Pollination with AI and Robots
Bluemax has developed technology that uses robots and artificial intelligence to replicate the process of pollination. By vibrating plants, their machines mimic the effect of bees, enhancing pollination and increasing crop yields by up to 30%. This technology is particularly effective for crops like avocados and blueberries, which face pollination challenges. Bluemax's algorithms factor in environmental conditions to determine the optimal time for pollination. The company's hardware includes autonomous vehicles with mechanical arms and electrostatic panels that vibrate plants and transfer pollen. By improving pollination, Bluemax aims to boost agricultural productivity and reduce the need for clearing land for new farms.
