Meropy's Innovation Helps Monitor and Take Care of Crops

— January 17, 2023 — Tech
The agri-tech space is ripe for tech-forward innovations and this portable crop-scouting robot is a great example of how companies are scaling back to provide more flexible options to farmers.

French start-up Meropy provides solutions for tedious tasks such as monitoring for pest infestations, plant diseases, unwanted weeds, and the like with the SentiV. This crop-scouting robot is powered by artificial intelligence. It can monitor a given area based on a pre-determined trajectory and "without any chance of error." The device is great for catching problems early on and with precision. The device also has a dual-camera system. The data from the cameras is analyzed by the AI software.

Meropy's SentiV can move approximately 20 hectares per day.
