Researchers develop an AI system that allows greenhouses to operate without human intervention This technology is a step forward for future space missions One of the challenges to colonize other planets and establish human settlements, starting with the planets closest to Earth in our Solar System, such as Mars, is to guarantee food for their future inhabitants. Since these planets have different atmospheric conditions than Earth, the fresh produce would have to be grown in greenhouses with a controlled atmosphere. The development of technologies based on artificial intelligence and computer vision for the automation of agricultural tasks in these types of greenhouses is one of the priority research objectives for future missions on Mars.
