Agricultural Robotics
Current methods for off-road navigation using vehicle and
terrain models to predict future vehicle response are limited by the accuracy
of the models they use and can suffer if the world is unknown or if conditions
change and the models become inaccurate. In this paper, an adaptive approach is
presented that closes the loop around the vehicle predictions. This approach is
applied to an autonomous vehicle known as field robots used in agriculture.
Agricultural Robotics is the logical proliferation of
automation technology into bio-systems such as agriculture, forestry, green
house, horticulture etc. Presently a number of researches are being done to
increase their applications.
Some of the scientist contributions are mobile
robot, flying robot, forester robot, Demeter which are exclusively used for
agriculture. A brief discussion is being done about the types of robots which increase
the accuracy and precision of the agriculture.
Experiments are being done on newly proposed world’s
smallest, weightless robot for using them as scouts in fields. Even in
developing countries, such as India and Brazil, farmers are interested in using
robots to tend fields of crops, pick fruit, or even maintain animal. At present
time, agriculture robots must have human interaction in order to compensate for
programming complexity issues.
