Precision Agriculture and Robotics

Abstract

Identifying specific requisite according to field design and management, analyzing those and finding out the most appropriate and best solution, using information and technology is precision agriculture. Maximizing profits, reducing wastage of resources such as fertilizer and manpower are features of it. In this method of farming, advanced and updated technology tools and devices such as GPS and remote sensing are used to make the precise decision while performing agricultural tasks. Its main objective is not having the same production everywhere but to manage and evenly divide resources available. This can be a solution to the problems faced by farmers globally all around. This paper focuses on comparing and analyzing precision agriculture against traditional techniques and tools. Robots used for agriculture purposes are known as 'Agribot' or Agricultural robot. This paper focuses on various robotics tools used in agriculture for performing agricultural tasks.
