South Korean farm machinery maker Daedong has signed a memorandum of understanding with Chinese robot joint maker EYOU in Shanghai to develop agricultural robots, iRobotNews reports, citing the Chinese portal China Robot Network.
The companies will jointly develop and test joint modules for farm robots and work towards producing and using them. They plan to set up a joint venture and are building a pilot production line for joint parts to speed up commercial production and sales.
Daedong has already tried autonomous robots in greenhouses and orchards. EYOU will handle joint design, integration, testing and process work, and the two will check the robots' performance in the field, the company said.
