With the realization of full unmanned mechanization of rice planting, will farmers lose their jobs?

Based on the current geographical landscape, there are many hills and mountains. It may take some time for unmanned mechanized planting to spread across the country. Therefore, farmers who farm are unlikely to lose their jobs in the short term.

Recently, the unmanned rice farm of South China Agricultural University has produced its first batch of rice. The plowing, planting, management and harvesting of this batch of rice were all completed by unmanned agricultural machinery, which is the first time in China.

Since 2004, the team of Luo Xiwen, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, a professor at South China Agricultural University, and a special commissioner for rural science and technology in Guangdong, has begun to study agricultural machinery navigation and automatic operations. They have made breakthroughs in ten key technologies and have successively developed unmanned driving systems. Rotary tillers, seeders, rice transplanters, high-clearance wide-width sprayers and harvesters realize unmanned mechanized operations throughout the entire plowing, planting, field management and harvesting process.

The technologies that the realization of unmanned farms mainly relies on:

The realization of unmanned farms relies on three major technologies, "biotechnology, intelligent agricultural machinery and Information technology." Luo Xiwen specifically mentioned, "In terms of intelligent agricultural machinery and information technology, it mainly relies on the Beidou navigation and positioning system and 5G communication system."

"You have just seen the third grain unloading operation. The parking position of the grain truck is a little ahead, and the harvester will remind you through the message. This is the result of the collaborative work of the Beidou navigation and positioning system and the 5G communication system to achieve precise navigation and precise operation of multiple agricultural machinery." He said that the Beidou navigation and positioning system mainly provides. With precise positioning, the 5G communication system processes a large amount of information in real time and has fast information transmission speed. At present, the linear walking accuracy of unmanned agricultural machinery can reach 2.5 centimeters.
