Imagine if there was a robot that would take care of your garden 24 hours a day and do all the gardening work for you - from planting, watering, spraying to removing weeds. Too good to be true, right? It won't hold. Such a robot already exists and it goes by the name of FarmBot Genesis, which could completely change the way we grow fruits and vegetables. It is an innovative open source solution from the American company FarmBot, which brings precision agriculture to the home.
Get to know FarmBot Genesis, innovative robot gardener, which, based on the latest technology gathered from all over the world (including drone technology), he takes care of the kindergarten from A to Z himself, i.e. from planting to fruit and vegetable maturity and everything in between. He is a real expert, the kind you will never be (and no offense). Find out why below.
For precision agriculture they say the future is agriculture. Precision agriculture helps farmers decide where, when and what to plant in order to achieve maximum yields. It means saving time and more rational planting and watering. Enables crop monitoring and mapping (soil moisture content, etc.) and access to data in the soil through installed sensors in real time. This it increases the accuracy of many tasks such as sowing, planting and spraying. FarmBot Genesis also does all this on a smaller scale, yours truly personal gardener, which does all the gardening work around the nursery, flower bed or greenhouse for you, so that you can then enjoy home grown fruit and vegetables, without getting your hands dirty!

Most of the data that the FarmBot Genesis system collects can we monitor via laptop, smartphone or tablet, which enables the grower to decide on possible further measures more easily and quickly. Components and software for this innovative open source system you can already pre-order (expect delivery February 2017), and soon FarmBot Genesis will also find its way onto the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter, where the price for first-time buyers is likely to be set slightly lower than it is now that it has to be deducted (recalculated) 2770 euros. And happy gardening!
