A Review on the Use of AI and Robotics in Agricultural Practices

Abstract

Robotics and artificial intelligence are becoming a part of the agricultural sector in ways bringing a change in it. It is evident that different technologies can help improve the yields, increase sustainability and efficiency in farming. This paper aims at offering a brief on the use of AI and robotics in agriculture; this will include using technologies such as Exact Hybrid Precision Farming, AI in livestock farming, AI-based resource supply chain applications, and others. In this literature review, the ideas of other authors are compiled and compare the concepts of culture as a factor in tackling the issues affecting agriculture and the possibility of utilizing artificial intelligence in the process. The theoretical literature review of the application of AI and robotics in precision farming aims at presenting literature evidence showcasing the use of activities such as predictive analytics, decision support systems, automated crop monitoring, and robotic harvesting. Other discussed issues are threats including high capital investment during the setting up and implementation of the system, replacement of labor by machines, as well as data insecurities.
