From dawn to dusk in Shihezi, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, one agricultural robot single-handedly covers over 1,020 mu (168 acres) of cotton and soybeans. Sunrise: it rolls out, scanning rows with laser precision. Midday: it micro-doses fertilizer and pesticide—no waste, no worker fatigue. Sunset: still humming, its sensors map plant health in the fading light. No driver. No breaks. Just 168 acres done—silently, efficiently.
