OpenSource Agbot - OpenAgbot.ORG

By 2050, world population is expected to rise to nine billion, but the amount of arable land meant to grow food will remain mostly the same as it stands today. As such, a 25% increase in productivity is mandated to support not just a growing populace.The agricultural industry is in transition.We are witnessing how robotics and autonomous systems can lead to transformational practices in areas such as manufacturing and mining, and we see that such technology will also soon transform agriculture.Agbot may ultimately help change the face of agriculture.


OpenAgbot Logo

openagbot is an autonomous machine that's installed atop and around a small garden—in your backyard, on a rooftop, or inside a greenhouse or lab.OpenAgbot is a medium sized robotic development platform.Its large payload capacity and power systems accommodate an extensive variety of payloads, customized to meet research needs.



OpenAgbot is a open-source project .Many components can be made using 3D printers, and the software can be tweaked to add features—or improve those implemented by the company.so OpenAgbot could be just the beginning for this high-tech farming revolution.Because cost is very important in agriculture, we're trying to reduce price and build the optimal robot to do tasks.

国内首款999元的高性能3D打印机面世

随着3D打印机技术越来越成熟,吸引了很多有兴趣的朋友关注,不知道大家最近有没有留意到,最近由国内WeiBao团队带来一款售价只要999元的国产WeiBao多功能3D打印机,只要对3D打印机有所了解的人很容易被吸引,不到1000元无疑是一个意想不到的低价了





上图是WeiBao多功能3D打印机的样机,再来看看打印机的功能,这款威宝多功能3D打印机基于Rostock的新型设计,使用并联机械臂结构本身,可使用PLA、ABS耗材。它能打印食品,并且能在几分钟内变成了一台数控机床(CNC),或者激光切割机。

在过去一百年没有很多将科技和食品相提并论的话题。食品打印机还是在概念设计阶段,但WeiBao团队完全把3D打印食品变为了可能。
WeiBao团队说这种打印过程把烹饪技术带入数字化时代,并创作出完全新颖的纹理和口味的食品,那是传统的烹饪技术所无法获得的。
目前WeiBao团队已在众筹网发起众筹活动,项目网址:http://www.zhongchou.cn/deal-show/id-10675

总体来说,WeiBao多功能3D打印机的性价比还是极高的,999元是一个足以让人心动的价位,有兴趣的朋友不妨收一台哦。
