This Hydroponic Farm Is Run Entirely By Robots

- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2018
- Iron Ox has just opened its first fully automated farm in San Carlos, California. The company claims that their hydroponic system can produce 30 times the yield per acre of land comparing to traditional farms, while using 90% less water.

This is the stuff taxes should go into. Research for the better.
Sure, who needs jobs for people?
stein lou More research also allows for more jobs to open in the biohazard contamination/forensic science/ engineers department. One thing leads to another. Think about it.

Tech savvy entrepreneur, records video in portrait.
His voice is irritating too
@@1vbAPiYk Not when you put clips of vertical video recording in a landscape video.
Who cares? Only idiots. There's nothing wrong with vertical videos. These kind of videos are not for entertainment purposes
iSlandeRon 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😈
I guess when you've produced more than three videos yourself you can have a legit complaint.
And I thought I was smart on Minecraft

Great insight and very honest assessment regarding energy consumption
Hi! Is this up and running now or just at demo stage? what would be the smallest initall cost of the system??
In the theroy of whare hiuse farming, has anyone tried covering the roof of said whare house with solar and wind energy production, whould that produce energy to run it?
They should try adjusting the lights to the spectrum of light plants use and see if it is sustainable.
First time I hear about Hydroponics was when I was a teen and played Deadspace. Good times.
Also googled Autonomous Hydroponics to end up here
90 percent less water? Awesome!
And no soil.
If we can automate seeds production we achieve 100% automation!
hyou zan ren How would that be done?
I fucking love the future
Is this the one place from Fallout 4?
Flintaco lmao thought the same
Eventually, people will not even need to leave the house, or even get out of bed. " In The Year 2525", that song was prophetic.
So it’s the graygarden of.. real life. Wow
Price plz
90% lese water. But how much energy?
A better question would be 90% less water relative to what?
@@legenarymaster3696 Most calculations that are found are done to 500 sq ft. of a hydroponic farm vs an acre of land. They count how long each farm runs
He literally said in the video that the electricity cost is unsustainable. But with advances in electrical generation like nuclear fusion, hydroponics powered by LEDs absolutely is viable, and things like growing it underground or in buildings will be viable where land space is scarce.
Will it work on Mars?!
@@thuggeegaming659 dude fusion is 40 years away lol but i am also positive there can be ways to get electricity
Hmmm this reminds me of Graygarden. Any other Fallout 4 fan made the same link.
Yees
I'm be going down this path Too. Due to the heat, Age and labour shortage!
"Grow more!"

World first automated weed farm
I am happy that you didn't put annoying background music.
That's a WAY overcomplicated way to do it. And it's too slow. But otherwise, it's really cool
Love it.
This is new Technic for modern fArming
He should have used red led instead of white. Plants don't need white light
Full spectrum light is still mostly absorbed and appears white in color. Reflected light in less absobable spectrums are often skued into absorbable spectrums. Overall, full vs red/blue, which is what veggies like, it isn't a big difference.
Amazing experiment, tell me more!

Stop with the lettuce. It's the most inefficient food.
Do they all have different personalities?
Music sounds like an alt-j song
Next step, mars
John Voidec Robots in space will be awesome!
high fidelity camera filming the robots at the farm, but can't film the guy at the farm.
Fine, let the robots do everything, take over... no need of humans
"Now that we have efficient LEDs..." the grow lights are like 6 feet above the canopy of the plants LOL breh you need to put the lights much closer to the plants that is indoor lighting 101
Resource based economy!
sure this came in handy in 20XX
Just to play devil's advocate here, but what about the humans who did the jobs before the robotics came into play? Where are they working now? ARE they working now? Just a thought....
Ej Nicks I’m assuming they are doing this because so many people are leaving farming. Or perhaps the farmers who have done this their whole lives are aging and dying with only small numbers replacing them. I would argue though that we need to be looking into why people are leaving farming and not how to replace them with robotics. It’s my understanding that the government and pricing has made it difficult to sustain a farm.
@@teateena7423 I have seen the decay of rural America due to the influx of modern technology. Every business is affected from the field labor to the country stores to farmer's markets, to mass distribution is hit. Mass distribution is hit positively while the aforementioned are all negatively affected.
There are a lot of people not working right now.
And then The Judgement Day will happen. DUNDUN DUN DUNDUN
Waiting for marxism outrage in comments.
How is this Marxism?
crazy
Bruh... solar panels.....
GlaDos confirmed?
Why not the whole World
I'm all for robots doing all the bad jobs, but we should be the ones working with nature and tending to plants.
I passionately believe this innovation should be celebrated, as with all inventions which make food production more efficient. But to suggest that 'human labour is becoming more scarce' is a wilful misrepresentation of the facts. There are more people in the USA than ever available to work for you - fact! All that's happened is poor people can now command more $s per hour to work than they used to and farming has to become more efficient in order to compete with every other industry (or pay illegal immigrants cash). We should celebrate the fact that the poorest and least skilled people in US society can now demand a decent living wage, just as we celebrate this farming innovation, without resorting to cheap virtue-signalling to suggest that immigration restrictions mean 'human labour is increasingly scarce'
so lets get this into places where food is scarce and lots of natural light i.e African nations facing starvation
nice idea plz make it self sustaining self contained self sanitizing and virtually free through energy alts, free to the public, and free public utility that is regulation standard in all cities. and no offense but a simple visit to a orthodontist to get a retainer would fix your underbite forever trust me I know. and its fairly common to fix lisps with psychodelic experiences of the extreme i suggest magic mushrooms andor lots of thc and a deprivation tank,
hey you are smart but you took my idea and did it yourself. !?
funny dude. now that we test a system that costs like half a million, we now know that artificial lighting is not cost efficient. well I could have told you that earlier hahaha
the robot part is cool tho. but also very inefficient
You should look at the experimental fusion reactor they are building in france! 30+ governments are building a test subject haha. More like 60 billion dollars in that case, when we could’ve built other energy plants that we know work everywhere.
It’s good work thou, testing and R&D is always risky but leads to advancement and new tech.
Early boiz...btw im 4th comment!! That's kinda cool!
“When labor gets scarcer and scarcer” is the greatest myth of all. Pay more and the labor will come. Yes, your sales prices will not be artificially low anymore. That’s economics and the self-balancing of markets.

Nice idea but no mention of the cost of the robots, buildings, power. Gota start somewhere I guess.
you would have to do extra research. They are implementing this in third world countries. Not this exact model, but other related techniques like aquaponics. Basically taking fish which can be cultivated for food, taking their water source and using it to feed the plants. These are places where water is not expendable; but neither is food. The aquaponics you can re-use the water by boiling it. It is a great concept and very much sustainable
First?
Yay i started something. Now i found a reason to live, again.. XD
How far can you move from nature ?
And you wonder why there is an explosion of degenerative diseases in the US ?
Do you not realize that this is the safest form of farming. The plants are away from any insects and disease and therefore they don't need pesticides, it is safer on every level.
They said the same thing when ice was first mass-produced. They thought lake ice was better for you.
