Dr Hu Lian is due to return to China tomorrow where he plans to continue developing and testing robotic systems for identifying and eliminating weeds.
Currently, farmers usually deal with weeds by either spraying entire fields or by using farm workers to physically remove weeds by hand.
Researchers like Dr Hu hope that the development of agricultural robots will ultimately lead to the reduction in the amount of chemicals used, address the lack of
