Pest Control Robots
Description of the innovative solution
The use of robotics for pest control and automatic pest surveillance. This solution helps to reduce the amount of pesticides and herbicides being put out into the environment. Robots are able to detect weeds and spray the effective amount of chemicals on that area. The robot will avoid spraying the crops directly. Farmers will ultimately spend less money on these chemicals because they will not be using as much of them. This includes weed controller, weed mapper, robotic gantry for macro pesticide spraying and fertilizer spraying, micro sprayer systems and continuous monitoring insect...

Pathways to uptake
Engage with our “backcasting tool” to imagine and design “pathways to uptake” for this solution in your setting.
This process involves defining a future vision of this solution being used in your context, and then working “backwards” to identify necessary steps to achieve this vision by 2030. Going through this exercise as an individual or with a team can help to clarify the WHAT/WHEN/HOW of moving a solution (or package of solutions) towards having major impact. We hope these pathways will inspire outside-of-the-box thinking, creative approaches, and actionable concrete steps to move ideas into action.
