①Industrial robots are on the rise and 5G robots are without doubt the future. Nowadays, a lot of companies are working on perfecting the technology.

②Since 2013, China has been the world's largest market for the use of industrial robots. The country believes robots can help deal with the pressure from the rising cost of taking care of plants. According to China Xinhua News, a 5G farming robot has been put to use in greenhouse in East China's Fujian Province. It has been connected to the 5G network to collect information about plants since last week.

③With a cartoonish look, the robot named Xiaorui was developed by Fujian Academy of Agricultural Sciences (FAAS) and Fujian Newland Era Hi-Tech Co., Ltd. It has a round base with wheels, allowing it to move in all directions. Its head is fixed with two cameras as the "eyes" and two cameras as the "ears".

④The 5G robots can not only collect information about wind, CO₂ and temperature but also send real-time pictures and videos about the plants to a control room much faster. According to Zhang Peiqiang, general manager of Fujian Newland Era Hi-Tech Co., Ltd, the information can be used to find out the plants' health condition and pest (害虫) control condition.

⑤"Fast information collecting is just the first step," Zhao Jian from FAAS said. "We expect the robot to be closely connected with the farming process. One day, it may even help people make management decisions"
