The pioneering 'grain-surfing' device, built by Edinburgh-based start-up Crover, uses sensors to monitor harvested crops
A Scots firm has built a robot that can “swim” through and monitor stored crops amid hopes it could save a third of the world’s grain.
But the T-shaped robot burrows or “swims” through grain bulks held in sheds or silos - using temperature and moisture sensors to feed back data on the crops’ environmental condition. Crover has recently taken up residency at the National Robotarium in Edinburgh’s Heriot Watt University - a state-of-the-art £22million hub specialising in AI and robotics which opened in September.
“The robot can ‘swim’ through the grain quickly generating a 3D map of temperature and moisture across the stack.
