Tea is enjoyed by people all around the world. Spring is the (good)season for West Lake Longjing tea. Usually Longjing tea . (pick)in March by hand, but now a tea-picking robot plays a part as well.
This smart robot is developed by university in Zhejiang. The university researchers took (hundred)of pictures of new tea buds(芽)and. fed them to the robot for it to learn. The robot uses an AI model (recognise)the buds that it needs to pick.
Then the robot's arm pulls and separates the tea buds the trees. Next, the arm quickly puts them into a box. After (collect)all the buds, the robot moves them from the box to a main box.
The robot is made because there are not enough people to pick tea. In Zhejiang, about 400,000 more pickers are needed now. the robots have joined in, tea picking is still a big challenge for the development of the tea industry.
Because of the hilly ground in the tea garden, tea-picking robots are not (wide)used, but they are a trend(趋势)of the future. In a positive case, will be possible for the robots to take over the job of tea picking instead of people in five years. Let's wait and see!
