Such a lot for stereotypes, eh? The way forward for farming is being painted in a much different light here at NEXT Aarhus, where a team from the University of Southern Denmark brought within the largest Wiimote-controlled robot that we’ve ever seen. The heretofore unnamed beast (going by SUFFER ’11 in the interim) is a farming-centric machine that’s designed to take the weight off of the landowners (while providing somewhat enjoyment the whole while). Put simply, this modular bot could have various apparatuses swapped into its midsection — one pop-in attachment could pick potatoes, while another could disperse pesticide, as an illustration. There’s even a module that’ll enable it to detect rows and plow down the most obvious routes, making it that much easier for farmers of a higher millennium to take time without work. In fact, the standout feature from our perspective was the inbuilt Bluetooth and WiFi, which allowed the demonstrator to function the ‘bot with a normal Wii remote. Per usual, the vid’s after the break.
