Abstract
The paper depicts agricultural robots that can perform complex tasks. Fast development and application of agricultural robotics is a result of increased development of agricultural machinery. Robots are complex and intelligent systems with a significant role in agriculture that are becoming an integral part of both the technological and scientific progress. The paper presents some important roles of robots and robotic systems in various agricultural areas and explains the deployment of new technologies supported by the examples of their application in arable farming, horticulture, and forestry. Robotics application decreases the deployment of human resources, enables significant production cost savings, and increases production capacity. The application of robotic systems facilitates high precision levels and repetition speed regarding time and space, which cannot be replicated by farmers
Highlights
A robot usually involves an electromechanical machine that can move, perform operations using a limb joint, feel external stimuli, and physically affect its environment [1]
The application of robotics in agriculture has resulted in an increased application of automated guided robots that minimize production losses [2]
The author argues that soon cooperative teams consisting of small autonomous agricultural robots are bound to be present in agricultural fields
Summary
A robot usually involves an electromechanical machine that can move, perform operations using a limb joint, feel external stimuli, and physically affect its environment [1]. Agricultural robots can be autonomous or semiautonomous systems able to move through different process phases to solve complex problems They have been successfully implemented in repetitive tasks to reduce human workload and to optimize time and cost regarding soil preparation [13], irrigation, plant protection [14,15,16,17], pruning [18], harvesting [19,20,21,22], surveillance and control [23,24,25,26,27,28], and mapping [29]. The author [37] claim how robots have their disadvantages: robots reduce the chances of employment in the industries, human labor is no longer required in farms Robots can handle their prescribed tasks, but they can’t handle unexpected situations. A high cost is needed to train employees with robots, if the robots are ruling the work in many places, the labor is needed to assist them, because the whole work can’t be thrown in the ability of the robots, So, the employees need training and that involves cost, So, a lot of money is involved with the installation of machines in the workplace
