Australian robotics start-up Swagbot is using AI to develop smart farming. Sukkarieh explained that livestock farmers were facing a range of "competing and complex issues," citing the example of high labor and fuel costs and concerns surrounding animal welfare and mismanagement. By using technology built by Swagbot Agerris , the company plans to commercialise its platform of automated agriculture tools, such as Agerris , a livestock herder and smart weed-pulling vehicle. With overhead expenses for livestock farmers growing and becoming more complex with high labour and fuel costs, Agerris aims to alleviate these issues with precision farming, while enhancing productivity, animal welfare and environmental sustainability at the same time. The agtech firm recently received AUD6.5m ( $4.64m ) in funding to further develop its products.
