The Naked Scientists: Would you trust a robot farmer?

The Director of the Lincoln Institute of Agri-Food Technology (LIAT) has featured on the international science radio show, The Naked Scientists.

Professor Simon Pearson featured on last week’s show, which pondered how robots are on course to alter our lives and asked the question: would you trust a robot?

During his interview, titled ‘can you trust a robot farmer?’ Professor Pearson describes how robotics could revolutionise the future of farming, from crop-sensing robots right through to food-picking robots.

The interview currently features on The Naked Scientists online. The Naked Scientists is a one-hour audience-interactive science radio talk show broadcast live by the BBC in the East of England, nationally by BBC Radio 5 Live and internationally on ABC Radio National, Australia; it is also distributed globally as a podcast.
