Cleo Abram | What's This Robot Doing In Grain Bins? @CleoAbram | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
This adorable robot is inside a grain bin! And it’s helping save farmers’ lives. Here’s how this works...
After grain on a farm is harvested - think barley, corn, wheat - it gets stored in HUGE grain bins. When the grain is ready to be shipped off the farm, it gets pulled out through the bottom by a rotating blade. Sometimes farmers have to go in there to break up chunks that are stuck together and ensure it all flows smoothly. But that can be dangerous because the grain can act like quicksand.
But this robot can do that task for them…
I love this robot. I’m learning so much about farming tech. I even got to visit John Deere’s test farm in Iowa, where I saw a TON of their craziest machines. Subscribe to see that story soon!
