Robotics in agriculture
Robotics is revolutionizing agriculture by improving productivity and working conditions. Autonomous systems and artificial intelligence drive precision agriculture, enabling operations such as automated planting, harvesting and irrigation. Agricultural robots guide themselves and execute complex tasks, such as detecting weeds, using advanced technology.
The incorporation of robotics in agriculture improves both productivity and the working conditions of farmers and workers. Intelligent systems are becoming the ideal solution to boost precision agriculture. Currently, a large number of agricultural operations are already being carried out autonomously, an agricultural robot then consists of a previously coded guided system, a system that allows it to go to the plot, move around it and return autonomously to its delivery or delivery point. recharge. Artificial Intelligence plays a key role, because it allows facts to be identified (such as weeds, or the optimal state for picking a fruit). From there, different mechanical solutions appear, such as articulated arms that will carry out the assigned task (planting, harvesting, use and extraction of water, irrigation, fertilization). The automation of precision agriculture will increase agricultural productivity, reduce manual labor for laborious tasks and help make farms more sustainable.
