Drones and robots could replace some field workers as farming goes high-tech

Soon, the cultivation and processing of your fruits and vegetables may be revolutionized by a fleet of drones and robots, some equipped with artificial intelligence. This transformative shift is already underway in farms across the United States.

Hylio, a tech company based in Houston, received an exemption from the Federal Aviation Administration in February, permitting a single pilot to operate swarms of robust drones over agricultural lands.

These battery-powered drones, some weighing up to 400 pounds each, are now authorized to spray fertilizer and pesticides on produce fields. Traditionally, such tasks were handled by farm workers or crop-dusting planes.

Previously, deploying such a drone swarm would have necessitated a team of licensed operators, resulting in a more complex and costly process.

With the ability to utilize three drones simultaneously, one operator can now cover 150 acres every hour, CBS News reported.
