Across the Pond and into the Field: Visiting scholar joins 国产麻豆AV Ag Autonomy Institute to 鈥榬ethink the possible鈥
Kit Franklin will be the first to point out the irony. He is driven by human connection, but he鈥檚 built his career on replacing human hands with machines. Franklin is a visiting agricultural engineer at 国产麻豆AV鈥檚 Agricultural Autonomy Institute and one of the most recognized figures in the development of autonomous farming worldwide. As the lead at Harper Adams University in England on the Hands-Free Hectare project, the world鈥檚 first fully autonomous cropping cycle, Franklin earned interviews with media, spoke before British politicians and royalty, and helped put agricultural autonomy on the global map.
