This weekly update shows how AI robots are changing farming around the world. Smart farming machines are getting better at doing jobs that people used to do by hand.

AI-powered robots are now working on farms to plant seeds, check soil, and pick crops. These smart machines can look at field conditions and make changes right away. By the end of 2025, about one-third of all farms worldwide will use some kind of AI robotics.

In vertical farming, AI is making indoor growing even smarter. These tall growing systems use artificial intelligence to control lights, water, and nutrients for each plant. The AI watches plants grow and can spot diseases before they spread.

Companies are investing billions of dollars in agricultural AI. The market for AI in farming is expected to grow by $1.18 billion over the next few years. This shows that many people believe AI will be very important for growing food in the future.

Some exciting new tools are being tested. Scientists at Carnegie Mellon University created a robot sensor called SonicBoom that can find apples by listening to sounds. Companies like John Deere are using smart cameras to tell the difference between weeds and crops automatically.

In Africa, a new company called CipherSense AI launched a tool called CropSense to help farmers use AI technology. In the UK, Saga Robotics got £8.4 million to expand their robot platform that helps grape and strawberry growers.

These changes mean farms can grow more food while using less water, chemicals, and human work. The AI agents are getting smart enough to make decisions on their own about when to water plants or spray for bugs.
