INTRODUCTION

Robots A robot is a mechanical, artificial agent and is

usually an electromechanical system. It is a device

that, because of software programming, makes

complicated tasks easy to perform.

WHY IS ROBOTICS NEEDED..?

Speed

Can work in hazardous/dangerous

temperature

Can do repetitive tasks

Can do work with accuracy

TYPES OF ROBOTS USED IN

AGRICULTURE

Demeter (used for harvesting).

Robot for weed control.

Forester robot.

Robot in horticulture.

Fruit picking robot.

DEMETER

Demeter is a robot that can cut crops it looks like a

normal harvester, but can drive by itself without any

human supervision.

WEED CONTROLLER

A four-wheel-drive weed-seeking robot was developed

and the task of the weed-removing device is to remove

or destroy the weed.

FORESTER ROBOT

This is a special type of robot used for cutting up of

wood, tending trees, and pruning of X- mas tree and for

harvesting pulp and hard wood and in the forests.

ROBOT IN HORTICULTURE

Robo is used in lawns to cut the grass in lawns.

It can cut any lawn, regardless of its geometric shape.

FRUIT PICKING ROBOT

The fruit picking robots need to pick ripe fruit without

damaging the branches or leaves of the tree.

ADVANTAGES

Agricultural robots are capable of collecting crop

and soil samples.

They are small in size.

They are also capable of mowing, spraying

pesticides, finding diseases or parasites, and

performing mechanical weeding.

Agricultural robots may have cameras and sensors

which detect weeds and other forms of stress.

DISADVANTAGES

Not currently scale neutral.

Better sensors would help.

Improved scouting programs would be essential.

Nevertheless, a periodic human presence in thefield is likely to be necessary for the near future.

Energy issues, costly.

FUTURE SCOPE

Flying Micro Robots: It is expected that it can

be used in agriculture for the control of weed and

insects.

Agriculture Robot Suit: The robot suit is

designed specifically to help out with tough

agricultural work like pulling radishes.

Vitirover Solar Robot :Used In Vines To Cuts

Grass and Weeds. Using a solar panel this

agricultural autonomous machine could work for

hundred hours without pause.

CONCLUSION

The higher quality products can be sensed by

machines (color, firmness, weight, density, ripeness,

size, shape) accurately. Robots can improve the quality

of our lives but there are downsides.

It may mean a rethinking of how crop production is

done. Crop production may be done better and

cheaper with a swarm of small machines than with a

few large ones.
