Robot Technologies in Agriculture: A Review

Abstract

To meet labour shortages in different concerns of agriculture, the world is innovating various technologies to meet the demands for the increasing population. "Robots and AI would now be able to be utilized to direct non-institutionalized undertaking (e.g. natural product picking, specific weeding, crop detecting) recently held for human specialists and at monetarily possible expenses.” In this paper we shall discuss about various technologies including surveillance, mobile soil sampling, precision seeding and cloud based irrigation technology proposed specially for agricultural application. We shall elaborately learn about the various sensors, programming languages and micro controllers used for the robot locomotion and arm movement also. The main focus of introducing robots in modern agricultural trend is to effectively use natural sources and customize the amount of irrigation water as well as calculate exact amount of fertilizers required by the plant and the soil, reduce human errors and also physical presence of humans on the field.
