Silicon Valley-based farm equipment startup FarmWise collaborated with Roush, a Michigan-based leading manufacturing and automotive company, to produce autonomous weeding robots.
By using high-precision weeding, the robotic farm hands can increase the yield of the crops by working day and night to remove unwanted plants and weeds.
"Michigan is well-known throughout the world for its manufacturing and automotive industries, the advanced technology expertise and state-of-the-art manufacturing practices," Thomas Palomares, FarmWise co-founder and CTO said. "These are many of the key ingredients we need to manufacture and test our machines."
Michigan has rolled out new safety measures through software innovations to prevent collisions involving emergency vehicles on their routes to calls or at the scene.
Fire trucks, police cars and first aid vehicles equipped with the new technologies can now send alerts to nearby drivers through their smartphones and navigation apps, which will help ensure safe passage and reduce response time.
The new technologies also enable alerts between first responders and other approaching emergency, public safety and municipal vehicles, according to the City of Grand Rapids Fire Department.
Advanced warning devices imbedded in the new technologies, like the HAAS Alert, have shown to reduce the chances of collision by 60 percent to 90 percent, according to a pilot simulations study conducted at the University of Minnesota.
