Agriculture Robotics are used in smart farming to collect high-resolution field data using ground-based or aerial based sensors which is collected into a central advisory unit. The data is interpreted and information is extracted to provide decisions and actions to the field robots. Agricultural field robots are used for tilling, soil analysis, seeding, transplanting, crop scouting, pest control, weed removal and harvesting(identify ripe versus unripe plants):
Some of the key agriculture robotics applications fit into the following sub-categories:
– Field scouting and data collection – process of continuously monitoring the field to acquire information on the plant status, disease incidence, and infestations affecting crop growth.
– Precision Weed Control and targeted spraying
– Automated Crop Harvesting
– Planting and Seeding
