Robotic Centipedes Are Taking Over Farms
What’s long, leggy, and about to become your vineyard’s new best friend? Meet the robotic centipede from Ground Control Robotics – a clever machine designed to handle the tricky business of weeding crops.”
“Inspired by the way animals move, these bots aren’t just mimicking biology – they’re applying physics to build something surprisingly practical. Each segment moves with cable-driven legs, gliding through rough terrain without the need for fancy sensors or complex AI.”
“Why not use a wheeled robot or a quadruped? Because vineyards and blueberry fields are messy, uneven, and not built for clunky machines. These bots can slip through the gaps, under branches, and over rocks without crushing the plants—or your budget.”
“They’re starting with crop scouting, but the plan is to scale up to full-on weed removal. Think precision, 24/7 coverage, and a lot fewer herbicides.”
“It’s a great example of research crawling—literally—out of the lab and into the field. And if it helps keep our strawberries weed-free, we’re all for it
