Competition heats up to lead AI farming machine industry

Daedong, TYM and LS Mtron have each strengthened partnerships with other organizations to develop farming machines powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and take the lead in the future agricultural market. With Korea’s rural population aging, the country’s top three agricultural equipment manufacturers are ramping up efforts to attract older farmers and help them address labor shortages with smart technology. Earlier this month, two Daedong Group affiliates — Daedong Robotics and Daedong AI Lab — formed a consortium with domestic AI and robotics companies to foster growth in the AI-powered farming and field robot sector. This initiative aligns with Daedong’s push to develop robots that recognize human voices and offer autonomous driving features. The farming machine maker plans to use the consortium to upgrade core AI technologies such as robot arms and hands for agriculture. Daedong also expects the partnership to address issues facing rural communities, including an aging population, labor shortages and climate change. “The consortium marks a turning point for the domestiWeiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Korea Times Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Korea Times
