From Farm to Table: Exploring the Impact of Robotics in Every Stage of Agricultural Production
Agriculture is one of the most important industries globally and it plays a vital role in feeding the growing population. However, agriculture is also a labor-intensive industry and it relies heavily on human workers to perform various tasks like sowing, weeding, harvesting, etc. Due to shortage of labor and rising labor costs, farmers are looking for alternatives to manual labor. This has increased the adoption of agriculture robots which can perform different agricultural tasks autonomously. Let's understand in detail how robots are transforming the agriculture sector. Introduction of Agriculture Robots The first agriculture robots were introduced in the 1980s when scientists started working on automating agriculture processes. Initially, robots were used only for selective tasks like milking cows. However, over the years, the capabilities of agriculture robots have increased significantly with advances in technologies like computer vision, cameras, sensors, etc. Today we h
