Sound guides robotic arm, improving crop harvesting

A new robotic arm system uses sound instead of vision to navigate, potentially improving its ability to harvest crops. This new system allows the robotic arm to operate in challenging environments where visual sensors are blocked, such as dense agricultural settings. The system uses sound to detect and maneuver around objects. Traditional robotic arms often rely on expensive and easily damaged camera-based sensors. This new technology could help farmers adapt to rising temperatures and other environmental challenges.
