Here's something to look forward to. Fields, hillsides and vineyards crawling with giant robobugs. This, it seems, is the future envisaged by Ground Control Robotics, an Atlanta-Geogia based startup. Cue Horizon Zero Dawn style dystopia as the farm bugs suffer a "derangement" and we're all in deep trouble?
Hold that thought. Ground Control Robotics is developing what looks for all the world like giant robotic centipedes. Among other tasks, they promise a revolution in agricultural crop management. On the upside, that could mean far fewer chemicals are needed to control weeds. On the downside? Well, fields swarming with robobugs!
