In Shawan City, China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, over 100,000 hectares of cotton have entered the critical field management stage, with intelligent agricultural robots now widely deployed. Equipped with cameras, sensors, and autonomous driving technology, these robots collect real-time data, calculate precise amounts of pesticides and fertilizers, and spray or fertilize efficiently. One robot covers over 6.7 hectares per hour, and a single technician can operate up to five robots. This digital, unmanned approach reduces labor and pesticide use while ensuring standardized management.
