Core Insights - The research team led by Xu Cao from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has integrated biotechnology (BT) and artificial intelligence (AI) to propose a novel concept of crop-robot collaborative design [1] - They have successfully created the world's first intelligent breeding robot "GEAIR," capable of automatic hybrid pollination, significantly reducing breeding costs, shortening breeding cycles, and improving breeding efficiency [1] - The technology for creating structural male sterile lines and the intelligent breeding robot has been patented nationally and internationally [1] Biotechnology and AI Integration - The team has developed a method for gene editing to redesign crop flower shapes, resulting in the creation of "robot-friendly" structural male sterile lines [1] - The integration of BT and AI is being expanded to cover the entire industry chain from breeding to production, harvesting, and traceability [1] Future Developments - The team is currently working on the "GEAIR 2.0" version of the breeding robot and aims to apply the structural male sterile line technology to various crops [1]
