…trajectory data collected from major league pitchers, machine learning, high-precision motors, image processing, and ball-tracking technology, the team at Trajekt has developed Arc, a pitching machine that can emulate the speed and pitching style of professional players. The system is already being used by seven major baseball teams, including the Chicago Cubs, according to Trajekt CEO Joshua Pope. Pope came up with the idea for the system while he was still in high school in 2014. Around the time, tracking technologies such as Statcast and Trackman were starting to be used at baseball games. Sports fans could now more easily…

…has been historically difficult to decarbonize, it added. “With precision ag, autonomy, and AI, data will decrease the volume of chemicals used, which is good for the soil, good for the farmer from a profitability standpoint, and good for the consumer,” said Penmetsa. The MK-V tractor is designed to help solve numerous challenges that farmers face today, including labor shortages, field safety concerns, increased customer scrutiny for sustainable practices, and government regulations, said Monarch Tractor. The system can “act as the hub to enable smart implements—precision sprayers, harvesters and more—for computer vision applications to help automate farming,” said Penmetsa. Monarch…

…for color, they're also looking for the geometry and precision of the crop. Our robots have gotten bigger and now have a boom. It now makes sense to cover more area—one robot can cover 400 acres per week, so we'll have a lot more data for next season. We'll have 30 units running in spring 2023. We did our first launch at the Farm Progress Show in Iowa at the end of August. We're focused on the sprayer robot for weeds in the U.S. for next season. What are some of the challenges Solinftec is still addressing? Ferreira: Some of…
