Ma huateng ambition exposure! Just, tencent enters unmanned agriculture, water fertilizes complete nobody...

No watering;

No one fertilized it;

No one tops it;

Ventilation, lighting, humidity and temperature are all given to artificial intelligence.

Each square metre produces 114 jin of cucumber fully;

......

Just now, tencent announced: AI agriculture era officially debut!

A, AI agriculture debut, 200 million vegetable farmers where to go?

All of a sudden, China's thousands of years of traditional way of growing food was suddenly overturned.

Recently, tencent held in the Netherlands on the international AI vegetable planting competition force Intel, holding back a prize, opened the first shot of domestic AI agriculture.

News comes, China's 200 million vegetable farmers can not sit still...

1, watering, fertilization, topping all do not need people

Tencent's first AI agricultural planting product is cucumber. Compared with traditional planting, the biggest difference between AI and cucumber is that there is almost no manual operation in the whole process. Tasks such as watering, ventilating, lighting, fertilizing and roofing are automatically judged and decided by AI, and then driven by "robot" equipment.

How does it work?

First, tencent AI experts established a simulator to simulate the climate environment and crop growth according to the growth rules of plants and greenhouse environment.

Second, build an artificial intelligence management system based on the knowledge and experience of agricultural experts. For example, how to control the light, ventilation, temperature, humidity and CO2 concentration in the greenhouse, when to water, top and cut branches, all the steps of human planting will be implanted into the AI system.

When the camera and sensors recognize that a task should be performed, it makes an automatic decision.

After planting cucumbers in the Netherlands, tencent's AI team returned to China and, through remote observation, did nothing but lie down to harvest.

2. The yield is 5 times that of artificial planting

The AI system is equivalent to a top agricultural expert, which determines the planting density and stem proportion from the very beginning, and then makes intelligent decisions on the strategies of leaf and fruit retention to maximize the yield of cucumbers.

Generally speaking, the mu (666 square meters) of cucumber produces about 15,000 jin, equivalent to 22 jin per square meter.

While tencent AI in the greenhouse of 61 square meters, out of the 6,992 pounds of cucumbers, the average of 114 pounds per square meter, production is fully more than five times artificial cultivation.

The cucumbers, which are stable in quality and uniform in shape and generally weigh more than 375g of grade A, quickly sold out, and the AI team even made A smashed cucumber for the last one.

3. Excellent students with continuous iteration and upgrading

What makes ai awesome is that it is a super intelligence with lifelong learning ability. In other words, it is a super excellent student.

Through automatic learning, it can continuously learn from mistakes and correct them, accumulate correct planting experience and optimize it, and continuously upgrade iteratively. This kind of "attitude" and ability is far beyond human beings.

Two, ten thousand arrows, China AI agriculture is ready to launch

China once created the peak of world agricultural civilization, but now it has become a joke. In 2017, we imported more than 160 billion yuan of soybeans, sorghum, cotton and other agricultural products from the United States alone.

It is an indisputable fact that China's agriculture has been left behind by developed countries.

In addition to ma huateng's focus on agriculture, in 2017, ma said, "Mr. Yuan longping has achieved 1,000 jin per mu. With Internet technology, we will strive to achieve 1,000 us dollars per mu."

On June 7, 2018, ali officially released the "ET agricultural brain ", which guides farmers to seed, fertilize and cultivate crops by artificial intelligence, so as to select the most suitable soil and water environment for different types of fruit trees.

In addition to farming, ali ET's agricultural brain also took the first step toward artificial intelligence in raising pigs. Ali cloud set up a file for each pig, including breed, weight, feeding situation, exercise intensity, etc. Through these data, the behavior characteristics of pigs and meat ratio were analyzed, which greatly improved the efficiency of pig raising.

Baidu's agricultural layout has already started. In September 2018, robin li held the ABC SUMMIT baidu cloud wisdom SUMMIT.

Baidu cloud, together with domestic leading agricultural enterprise sinochem agriculture, demonstrates an intelligent agricultural production management platform, and promotes the establishment of intelligent agricultural system from three aspects of connection, understanding and awakening.

Although jd's agricultural road started a little late, but the development is in the forefront. At present, the plant has been established in jingdong. It has launched a set of intelligent water farming technology, which has completely overturned the traditional form of growing vegetables in China for thousands of years. A vegetable field the size of a football field has realized the miracle of 300 tons of vegetables per year.

In addition to growing vegetables, liu also set up jd agriculture and animal husbandry, and launched the artificial intelligence pig raising program. He was the first to brush the face of pigs, and used pig feeding robots and inspection robots, greatly liberating pig farmers.

The future of agriculture is really here

You may not know, the development of artificial intelligence technology has been deeply into the whole process of our agricultural production.

Later, facing the loess back is no longer the portrayal of the farmers;

Later, look at the day to eat is no longer the pain point of the farmers;

Later, the maladies of disjointed supply and marketing could no longer push farmers into the fire.

Because a whole new era of AI agriculture has begun.

Prenatal: breeding selection and market analysis

We used to farm by habit and experience. From this moment on, ai will be able to use data from the Internet of things not only to monitor water sources, but also to analyze the composition of the soil to select the best crops to grow.

Through big data analysis and prediction of crop market demand cycle, artificial intelligence can also calculate what the market is short of, and then guide farmers to grow what, supply and marketing disconnection, agricultural products can not sell the pain will forever become history.

In addition, big data analysis and machine learning technology can also help farmers screen and improve crop genes, so that the varieties with good taste, high yield and good insect resistance will get the maximum play.

In production: pest management, automatic harvesting

In the middle stage of production, artificial intelligence technology can also monitor environmental data and crop growth. By establishing a classification database of characteristics of diseases, pests and weeds, intelligent prevention and management of diseases, pests and weeds can be realized. This means that the use of pesticides will be minimized.

In the harvest link, the artificial intelligence and the mechanical arm or the robot union, may realize the 24 hours automated harvest easily. When manpower is liberated, be a farmer also is a very happy thing.

After delivery: quality inspection, e-commerce operation

After harvest, how are farm products tested, sorted and packaged? Don't worry, the computer brain and the robot arm can do all the heavy work.

Ali cloud, tencent cloud and baidu cloud can never tire of analyzing market conditions with big data and formulating accurate sales strategies. Finally, agricultural products will be delivered to consumers by jingdong logistics and cainiao logistics.
