Abstract

Farming in the near future has to produce more food and fibre to feed a growing population with a smaller rural labor force and contribute to overall development of countries. Robotics in agriculture, the sustainable food production method has the potential to improve competitiveness and increase crop productivity compared to the current methods, thus becoming an increasingly active area of research. In this paper, robotics and its application in agricultural fields are discussed, that helped to increase the accuracy and precision in agriculture.
