# Crop-Scouting Robots Meropy's Innovation Helps Monitor and Take Care of Crops By Kalin Ned | Published 2023-01-17 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cropscouting-robot References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2023/01/16/ai-powered-crop-scouting-robot-promises-better-yields-with-sensible-farming/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ai-powered-crop-scouting-robot-promises-better-yields-with-sensible-farming) & [meropy](https://meropy.com/en/robot.html)  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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pats-agri-tech), plant diseases, [unwanted weeds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weed-management), 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.
