HONG KONG, Dec. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In the newest episode of ‘Tech for Good’, NCS anchor and correspondent Kristie Lu Stout meets the young innovators growing cutting-edge know-how that might someday revolutionize agriculture, meals manufacturing, and reforestation. From robotic harvesters to self-burying seeds, ‘Tech for Good’ dives into the way forward for farming and environmental restoration – designed, coded, and cultivated by the subsequent era.
Kristie first visits a farm on the outskirts of Sydney, Australia, to satisfy SwagBot, an AI-powered agriculture robotic. What started as a cattle-herding robotic has developed to autonomously gather information about animal grazing patterns, climate, and vitamin, serving to farmers optimize livestock care and improve productiveness. Kristie meets post-doctorate researcher Fiorella Sibona who’s testing how SwagBot, and a number of different robots developed on the University of Sydney, can be utilized to make farming more sustainable.
Next, ‘Tech for Good’ heads to Switzerland to go to École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne’s CREATE Lab, the place college students are growing new types of clever robots for agriculture. We first meet a dexterous robotic that may plant, monitor, and harvest greens autonomously; its robotic arms have been produced from scratch and have been skilled by college students utilizing bespoke haptic gloves and AI. Then we meet the GOAT (Good On All Terrains) robotic, a shapeshifting, multi-modal robotic able to rolling, crawling, and flying, that might someday be used for environmental monitoring and mapping on troublesome terrains like steep vineyards.
‘Tech for Good’ additionally revisits Flash Forest, a Canadian startup featured in 2021, which makes use of drones and superior know-how to plant seed pods in areas affected by wildfires. Kristie speaks to co-founder Cameron Jones to seek out out how the corporate is now leveraging AI, lidar sensors and more superior drones to develop their attain, as they purpose to plant one billion timber by the early 2030s.
Finally, in America, a workforce on the University of California, Berkeley is growing ‘E-seeds’, which are biodegradable, self-planting seed carriers that may routinely corkscrew into the soil when moistened. We meet PhD pupil Semina Yi, who’s testing how her new seed service prototype will be deployed utilizing drones, in a bid to assist with land reforestation.
