Transcript of Agricultural Robots
INTRODUCTION
Robots A robot is a mechanical, artificial agent and is
usually an electromechanical system. It is a device
that, because of software programming, makes
complicated tasks easy to perform.
WHY IS ROBOTICS NEEDED..?
Speed
Can work in hazardous/dangerous
temperature
Can do repetitive tasks
Can do work with accuracy
TYPES OF ROBOTS USED IN
AGRICULTURE
Demeter (used for harvesting).
Robot for weed control.
Forester robot.
Robot in horticulture.
Fruit picking robot.
DEMETER
Demeter is a robot that can cut crops it looks like a
normal harvester, but can drive by itself without any
human supervision.
WEED CONTROLLER
A four-wheel-drive weed-seeking robot was developed
and the task of the weed-removing device is to remove
or destroy the weed.
FORESTER ROBOT
This is a special type of robot used for cutting up of
wood, tending trees, and pruning of X- mas tree and for
harvesting pulp and hard wood and in the forests.
ROBOT IN HORTICULTURE
Robo is used in lawns to cut the grass in lawns.
It can cut any lawn, regardless of its geometric shape.
FRUIT PICKING ROBOT
The fruit picking robots need to pick ripe fruit without
damaging the branches or leaves of the tree.
ADVANTAGES
Agricultural robots are capable of collecting crop
and soil samples.
They are small in size.
They are also capable of mowing, spraying
pesticides, finding diseases or parasites, and
performing mechanical weeding.
Agricultural robots may have cameras and sensors
which detect weeds and other forms of stress.
DISADVANTAGES
Not currently scale neutral.
Better sensors would help.
Improved scouting programs would be essential.
Nevertheless, a periodic human presence in thefield is likely to be necessary for the near future.
Energy issues, costly.
Flying Micro Robots: It is expected that it can
be used in agriculture for the control of weed and
insects.
Agriculture Robot Suit: The robot suit is
designed specifically to help out with tough
agricultural work like pulling radishes.
Vitirover Solar Robot :Used In Vines To Cuts
Grass and Weeds. Using a solar panel this
agricultural autonomous machine could work for
hundred hours without pause.
CONCLUSION
The higher quality products can be sensed by
machines (color, firmness, weight, density, ripeness,
size, shape) accurately. Robots can improve the quality
of our lives but there are downsides.
It may mean a rethinking of how crop production is
done. Crop production may be done better and
cheaper with a swarm of small machines than with a
few large ones.
