and 3 meters long, a robotic device called the FarmBot is busy planting vegetable seeds.</span> <span data-start-time='15979' data-end-time='26708'>The FarmBot will control the soil’s moisture, water the seeds and plants, and take out any wild plants or weeds.</span> <span data-start-time='26708' data-end-time='37042'>Rory Aronson is the inventor of the FarmBot and chief executive officer of the company that produces it.</span> <span data-start-time='37042' data-end-time='42521'>He tells VOA who would find the device helpful.</span> <span data-start-time='42521' data-end-time='51938'>“Our
