About

K R Manusa is a researcher focused on agricultural automation, with a particular emphasis on developing robotic solutions to address critical labor shortages in farming. Their most cited work, "Robotic Arm Enabled Automatic Tea Harvester" (2021), introduces a novel approach to automating the delicate process of tea leaf plucking, a task traditionally reliant on manual labor. This paper, which has garnered 2 citations, proposes a robotic arm system designed to reduce human error and increase efficiency in the agricultural sector. Manusa’s research directly confronts the pressing issue of declining agricultural labor, aiming to mitigate potential future crises that could threaten farmer livelihoods and food production. By integrating robotics into traditional farming practices, their work contributes to the broader field of precision agriculture and smart farming technologies. Manusa’s contributions are particularly notable for addressing a niche yet vital area—tea harvesting—where automation has been challenging due to the crop’s specific growth patterns. Their research offers a practical pathway toward sustainable agricultural practices, making it a valuable reference for scholars and engineers working on robotic applications in agriculture.
