The $5 trillion industry composes 10% of global consumer spending and 40% of employment,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/industries\/chemicals\/our-insights\/pursuing-the-global-opportunity-in-food-and-agribusiness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to McKinsey<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It also represents 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and is responsible for untold volumes of toxins and herbicides being put into the soil and water table.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s tackling those environmental issues that inspired <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bluerivertechnology.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blue River Technology<\/a> founder Jorge Heraud to start his company, which was\u00a0recently acquired by John Deere for $305 million\u00a0just six years after its founding.<\/p>\n<p>Heraud and his small team spent countless hours perfecting \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/digital.hbs.edu\/platform-digit\/submission\/john-deere-killing-weeds-precisely-with-see-spray-technology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See &amp; Spray<\/a>\u201d technology \u2014 a system that teaches machines to differentiate between weeds and crops, and precisely deliver a small but lethal dose of herbicide to remove the offending plants. This preserves the crops while, at the same time, greatly reducing the amount of toxic chemicals needed to keep weeds at bay, reducing their use by 90%,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/why-john-deere-just-spent-dollar305-million-on-a-lettuce-farming-robot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to Wired<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the system constantly gathers data about the crops it\u2019s working with, making adjustments as needed and ensuring that only the smallest necessary amount of herbicides are used.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How See &amp; Spray Works<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>See &amp; Spray technology is fitted onto tractors like standard weed spraying machinery, but it\u2019s also equipped with an array of cameras and machine-learning software. This enables it to tell the difference between weeds and crops, and actually improve performance as it learns. The system is so precise, in fact, that it can tell the difference between cotton plants and weeds in 30 milliseconds.<\/p>\n<p>See &amp; Spray isn\u2019t Blue River Technology\u2019s first foray into automated crop equipment. It saw great success with its <a href=\"https:\/\/modernfarmer.com\/2013\/05\/lettuce-bot-roomba-for-weeds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LettuceBot<\/a>, which is deployed on fields where young lettuce plants grow. The bot initiates a sort of controlled Darwinism, not only eliminating weeds, but actually thinning out the lettuce it deems too small to be viable and creating space for the larger, stronger plants to thrive. Today, 1\/5 of all lettuce grown in the United States has been thinned by a LettuceBot, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/features\/2018-01-11\/this-army-of-ai-robots-will-feed-the-world\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bloomberg<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The development of See &amp; Spray technology wasn\u2019t without its early hiccups either. Initial models experienced issues during the testing phase like leaking nozzles, which dripped concentrated fertilizer on acres upon acres of seedlings on test fields in Arkansas.<\/p>\n<p>In response to this problem, Heraud and his team added a fail-safe automatic abort function, which stops any nozzle that flows for more than five seconds. To make things right with the farmers whose crops they killed, the company thinned their next 100 acres for free.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Greener Future<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A major side-effect of agriculture\u2019s reliance on (and less-than-judicious use of) weed-killer is one of the reasons innovations like Blue River Technology\u2019s has caught the eye of big farming companies.<\/p>\n<p>Weeds are hardy plants, and they\u2019ve developed resistance to commercial weed killer like Roundup at an alarming rate. According to Bloomberg, in 2008, there were 10 million acres of Roundup-resistant weeds. By 2012, there were 30 million, and today there are 70 million acres, an area about the size of Nevada.<\/p>\n<p>The $28 billion herbicide industry is unlikely to go down without a fight, but, perhaps surprisingly, even some of the biggest names in the business were early investors in Blue River Technology, including Monsanto Growth Ventures and Syngenta Ventures.<\/p>\n<p>The first See &amp; Spray bots are expected to hit the US in 2020, with Europe following a year later. Reducing agriculture\u2019s reliance on haphazardly deployed toxic chemicals to thin crops and kill weeds will benefit our world in many ways. That includes a cleaner, less chemically tainted food supply, fewer toxins seeping into the world\u2019s waterways and the preservation of aquatic and amphibious species.<\/p>\n<p>As Heraud told Bloomberg, \u201cRobots don\u2019t have to take us away from nature \u2014 they can help us restore it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Learn how teams are strengthening their development process for complex products such as robotics with our white paper, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jamasoftware.com\/resource\/five-tips-on-traceability\/\">Better Product Development: Five Tips for Traceability<\/a>.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<input class=\"fooboxshare_post_id\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"26238\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>See &#038; Spray technology is fitted onto tractors like standard weed spraying machinery, but it\u2019s also equipped with an array of cameras and machine-learning software.
