A Scots firm has built a robot that can “swim” through and monitor stored crops amid hopes it could save a third of the world’s grain.
The unique “grain-surfing” device dreamt up by Edinburgh-based farming tech developer Crover will “revolutionise” crop management by helping to prevent waste, it’s claimed.
A staggering 30 per cent of harvested grains, like wheat or barley, are lost from the global food supply chain every year due to mould or insect infestations while in storage.
