ITRI announced that it will showcase smart agricultural robots developed in collaboration with the Livestock Research Institute at the 'Taiwan International Agricultural Machinery and Materials Exhibition,' held in Chiayi County from May 30 to June 1. The robots include a smart feeding robot, an AI manure pushing robot, and an autonomous disinfection robot. Li Shih-chi, CEO of ITRI's Central Region Campus, noted that Taiwan's dairy industry is dominated by small and medium-sized farms, and imported equipment often poses challenges in maintenance and cost. These domestically developed robotic technologies aim to alleviate labor shortages, improve operational efficiency, and reduce the risk of disease transmission.
